hwid changes on linux

Post by axiomator »

HDD id changes on every reboot on linux. Vmprotect doesn't accept serial number tied to this HWID afterwards.

Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-58-generic Architecture: x86-64
VMProtect Ultimate v 3.3.1 (build 1086)

Output of udevadm doesn't change from boot to boot
udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/sda
uuid's of hdds don't change as well

Why is hdd id changing? What exactly changes? I can instruct linux users to make some additional actions but what?
Why VMProtectGetCurrentHWID returns only 3 hardware parameters?
If CPU=10 and other weights are 1, overall sum is < 12 so the key doesn't pass as valid.
How do I solve this?

Couple examples:

2D3kAN00sTT/z8eb;
2D3kAN00sTQnU8jM;
2D3kAN00sTSPQuUK;
2D3kAN00sTS7NMFS;

Code: Select all

[MACHINE0]
HOST=34B134DC
CPU=E43DD8
HDD=9BC7CFFC

[MACHINE1]
HOST=34B134DC
CPU=E43DD8
HDD=CCC85324

[MACHINE2]
HOST=34B134DC
CPU=E43DD8
HDD=AE5428C

[MACHINE3]
HOST=34B134DC
CPU=E43DD8
HDD=52C134B8

After some time current hdd id start to match one of previously occurred ids.
Maybe vmprotect takes the first hdd/partition or all of them and doesn't sort them first? something like that.
I have 2 disks with 4 and 2 partitions.

Please help.
I'm a licensee and I still didn't get any help.
Does anyone else protect linux binaries with vmprotect? tied to hardware?

Could you send us examples of the result of the command "ls /dev/disk/by-uuid"?

As I understand this result does always change?

No it is always the same.
Here are the partitions. System is on sdb2

Code: Select all

estimap50@estimap50:~$ lsblk -f
