## Installation
``` bash
pip install hwid
```
## Usage
Module:
```python
import hwid
print(hwid.get_hwid())
# 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX'
```
CLI:
```bash
hwid
XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
```
## Motivation
TL;DR I don't want to copy and paste it again...
I have created a bunch of desktop applications for Windows. I needed a way to license my applications for my users to use it without distributing to other people. I decided to use the hwid of the computer to license my applications. I needed a way to get the hwid of the computer, so I created this module. It has only one purpose: getting the hwid of the computer. It is cross-platform and does not require any external dependencies.
## Features
- Cross-platform
- No external dependencies
- CLI
- Module
## Warning
I do not recommend using this module for licensing purposes all alone. You can use it as a part of your licensing system.
If you are using server-client architecture, you can send the encrypted hwid to the server and check if it is valid. But keep in mind, It's easy to intercept the http requests with [mitmproxy] or other tools.
If you are using a local licensing system, you can encrypt the hwid and store it in a file. Then you can check if the encrypted hwid is valid. You can use [pyarmor] to obfuscate your code. It will make it harder to reverse engineer your code. Here is a [NeuralNine Tutorial][neuralnine-tutorial] using [Oxyry][oxyry]
