I am referring to the unique identity of the cpu, not it's ID. In other words, if I understand correctly, each and every manufactured cpu has a single unique identifier. Is it possible to read this.
My question is both for curiosity and security reasons. There are some registration softwares that tie a software serial number to your computer. If you install the software on other computers, it would say that it is in use on some other system. This got me thinking. If some software can do that (provided that my assumption is correct), then can a cpu be tied to your software if you sell it. I do know that in some cases other hardware configurations are used for identity, but at this time I only would like to better understand my cpu.
