Hi, I need help.


Some software need read IdentifyingNumber from my Win10 LTSC virtual machine.
 
FWICT, IdentifyingNumber are from installed software inside of Windows and nothing that the VM can expose from the outside.

Hi, I found how to work. But in document, it says the data are in Base64 Encode, but, seems it's raw string?

vm.conf:

Code:
smbios1: uuid=4a3f6011-fdf0-4b57-afb2-e7284433b947,sku=c2t1,family=ZmFtaWx5,manufacturer=bWFudWZhY3R1cmVy,product=cHJvZHVjdA==,serial=c2VyaWFs


Result in Win 10:

Code:
IdentifyingNumber:c2VyaWFs
Name:cHJvZHVjdA==
SKUNumbernull)
UUID:4A3F6011-FDF0-4B57-AFB2-E7284433B947
Vendor:bWFudWZhY3R1cmVy
Versionc-q35-6.2
Caption:QEMU HARDDISK
SerialNumber:QM00001
Size:274872407040
Signature:-1554890628
Model:QEMU HARDDISK
 
Ah OK, that's what you mean. It can be optionally base64 if more than alphanumerical is required, but then you need to set the base64=1 flag too, e.g.:
smbios1: uuid=b5dd1437-9b00-4244-9668-9920fe090f94,manufacturer=dGVzdCBzdHJpbmc=,product=QmxhY2sgTWVzYQ==,base64=1
