The Activation ID is a 64-bit random number which is then down sampled to reduce the size of the activation request code. The Hardware ID is only used as an identifier for the machine, and never sent to SOLIDWORKS. The Hardware ID is a mathematically computed one-way hash based on your computer's hard drive geometry and CPU family, and cannot be used to identify the make or model of your computer or its components. In addition, a Hardware ID and Activation ID are created.
