Looking at Serial Number Features
The Intel processor serial number, a new feature of the Pentium III processor, is
an identifier for the processor. The processor serial number is designed to be
unique, and when used in conjunction with other identification methods, can be
used to identify the system or user. This number can be used in a wide variety of
applications which benefit from stronger forms of system and user
identification.
The processor serial number is analogous to a conventional serial number, with
these important differences:
„
A software application can read the processor serial number.
„
You can disable the reading of the serial number via utility programs
such as this one, or via the BIOS, depending on the system configuration.
