UnityEngine .NET 3.5 Get HardwareID without System.Management

I was looking for a way to get the user's HWID using this: How to fast get Hardware-ID in C#?

but failed. System.Management is not fully ported on UnityEngine 4 and I need to find an alternative, to atleast gain access to a CPUID or something.

Any ideas?

Use SystemInfo.deviceUniqueIdentifier it is built in to unity. One thing to check however is it can return the value of SystemInfo.unsupportedIdentifier if it is running on a platform that does not provide a way to get a unique id.

using UnityEngine;

public class NewBehaviourScript : MonoBehaviour 
{
    void Start () {
        if (SystemInfo.unsupportedIdentifier != SystemInfo.deviceUniqueIdentifier)
        {
            // use SystemInfo.deviceUniqueIdentifier
        }   
    }
}

Be sure you are running Unity 4.6.2 or newer as there was a bug for it on linux not returning consistent values but it was fixed in 4.6.2.
