We're looking for C/C++ sample code which can access the host environment from inside an instance of VMWare or Virtual PC. The idea here is we need a piece of information that will identify the host, or a multiple pieces of information that when combined can identify a given host. Plausibily items like hardware information would be ideal, but anything that is not easily configured would work. Here are the things we can do already: 1) Detect that we are in a Virtual PC or VMWare instance using ASM code. 2) Get access to the CPU Details of the machine via the CIM/WMI calls. These return to us the CPU model and ID, but if two computers have the same CPU they are the same. The issue we have now is we'd like to get access to another piece of information to use in combination with the CIM/WMI CPU information, so that there is a better indication of which host our VM instance is running on. Bonuses for time and thoroughness. Thanks! ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). ## Platform Win2k+ VMWare 1.0.2+ VirtualPC 2007+
