vb.net - Shorten a string containing data -


I am creating an application to present unique keys for each computer, this information is taken from the OS serial number and processor ID has gone.

Is there a way to 'reduce' the string? Perhaps by converting it to hex or something ...

The reason for this is: I have a VB6 section of code (http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb ... 48 9 26 and LNGIID = 1) and the output is only 13 digits long. I have a very long time but get the same information ...

BTW, I have posted the link above Wins the prize, but I have great difficulty in converting it to the net. Has it been changed by any chance, or is anyone aware of it? Or a tool that actually works?

Thanks
