Anyone know how to get the MAC address of the PC the app is running on.  (Note: I have the IP) just need to get the MAC.  I did try the "Get Mac address demo" from the code exchange but one of the numbers in the returning MAC address is coming back wrong.

Hi Dave.

 

Try this:

 

OLEObject ole_wsh
Any la_usb[]
string ls_message

 ole_wsh = CREATE OLEObject
 ole_wsh.ConnectToNewObject("MSScriptControl.ScriptControl")
 ole_wsh.Language = "vbscript"
 ole_wsh.AddCode('Function rtnMACAddresses()~r~n' &
 + 'MACAddressList = "" ~r~n' + &
 + 'strComputer = "."~r~n' + &
 + 'Set objWMIService = ' + &
 + '   GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _~r~n' &
 + '& strComputer & "\root\cimv2")~r~n' &
 + 'Set colItems = ' &
 + '  objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration Where IPEnabled = ~'TRUE~'")~r~n' &
 + 'For Each objItem in colItems~r~n' &
 + 'MACAddressList = MACAddressList & " | " & objItem.Description & " = " & objItem.MACAddress  ~r~n' &
 + 'Next~r~n' &
 + 'rtnMACAddresses = MACAddressList~r~n' &
 + 'End Function')
 ls_message = ole_wsh.Eval("rtnMACAddresses")
 ole_wsh.DisconnectObject()
 DESTROY ole_wsh

MessageBox("MAC Adress List",ls_message)

Do you need your Web app to do this or you just yourself want to get the MAC address to activate your PowerServer license?

I see. It would be getting the MAC address of the client not the server since the Web app runs in the browser at the client. There is no built-in function provided by PowerServer to do this. You would need to write your own code.



It is possible that code snippet is not working because it contains some unsupported features. One option is to create a DLL and call that DLL from your Web app. PowerServer does support external function calls.

Hi David;

   My framework solution also works in PowerServer Web as well. Also, it introspects the Web browser environment for you as well.

For example (run in the Edge browser):

I haven't tested any of my examples in PowerServer. I haven't even tried to use PowerServer.

Make sure you use the 10.5 version, the 12.6 version may have unsupported features, longptr for example.
