DeviceId
A .NET library for generating unique device identifiers across Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms.
What is DeviceId?
DeviceId is a .NET library that generates unique identifiers for computers by combining various hardware and software attributes. It solves the problem of reliably identifying devices across different operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS) and hardware configurations, which is essential for software licensing, analytics, and device management.
.NET developers building applications that require device identification for licensing, analytics, or device management purposes, particularly those targeting multiple operating systems.
Developers choose DeviceId for its comprehensive cross-platform support, modular architecture that avoids unnecessary dependencies, and flexibility in selecting which device attributes to include in identifiers while maintaining backwards compatibility.
