Hi all coders, am working on a program using python, but I'd like to it to be able to retrieve the computer's Motherboard serial number either from BIOS or any other way for activation purposes that preferably would be the same across all platforms on the same computer.

My program runs well on Linux, Windows and Mac and am looking for an efficient way to do this for all. I heard of pywin32 and am yet to try it, but that would only work for Windows. Any module or trick i can use will be very helpful.

Thanks guys
