How to add User Specific information in Exe File

I have a code on the server-side(application) that links with the client-side(application). The user signs-up to download the exe(client-side application). There must be a unique way to identify the user(client app exe) with the info got from sign-up.

So, one of the information must be attached to exe file during the download.

One of the ways I found is using "Portable Executable".

Is it possible to add string data to exe and later retrieve it?

Is there any other possible way to make the exe user-specific? Or is it possible to add the user information along with the downloaded exe?

Yes, it is potentially possible to modify the exe at runtime to put your own stream. You might put the User Specific information in an existing Resource prepared for this "update". This would be the easiest way to avoid to take care about changing other parameter like size, etc.. Another option would be to put the User Specific information in the overlay of the Exe.
