Hi, does anyone know, why USB-stick ID vary on different PC's and even one PC on different sessions?
I have a code to get DeiceID:
Dim Devices As New ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * From Win32_USBHub")
For Each mo As ManagementObject In Devices.Get()
For Each Item In mo.Properties
MsgBox(mo.Properties.Item("DeviceID").Value)
Next
Next
After that I installed 2 USB-sticks to my PC and got 2 ID's. My laptop showed 2 different ID's for the same USB-sticks.
Stick1
PC: USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_KINGSTON&PROD_DATATRAVELER_2.0&REV_\4B494E4753544F4E098601210A&0
Laptop: USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_KINGSTON&PROD_DATATRAVELER_2.0&REV_\4B494E4753544F4E498601A1AA&0
Stick2
PC: USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_JETFLASH&PROD_TRANSCEND_8GB&REV_1100\7&10F51173&0
Laptop: USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_JETFLASH&PROD_TRANSCEND_8GB&REV_1100\6&1322E5A1&0
Even this numbers changed time to time at my PC and laptop. Why it's happens and how to get stable ID's?
