IWMDMStorageGlobals::GetSerialNumber (deprecated)
This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.
This topic documents a feature of the Windows Media Device Manager SDK. We recommend that you migrate your application to use the Windows Portable Devices API. For more information, see the Windows Portable Devices SDK.
The GetSerialNumber method retrieves a serial number that uniquely identifies the storage medium.
Syntax
HRESULT GetSerialNumber(
PWMDMID pSerialNum,
BYTE[WMDM_MAC_LENGTH] abMac
);
Parameters
pSerialNum
[out] Pointer to a WMDMID structure specifying the serial number information.
abMac
[in, out] Array of bytes specifying the message authentication code for the parameter data of this method. This memory is allocated and freed by the caller.
Return Values
The method returns an HRESULT. All the interface methods in Windows Media Device Manager can return any of the following classes of error codes:
- Standard COM error codes
- Windows error codes converted to HRESULT values
- Windows Media Device Manager error codes
For an extenstive list of possible error codes, see Error Codes.
Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.
Return code | Description |
E_INVALIDARG | The pSerialNum parameter is an invalid or NULL pointer. |
WMDM_E_NOTSUPPORTED | The device does not support serial numbers. |
E_FAIL | An unspecified error occurred. |
WMDM_E_NOTCERTIFIED | The caller is not certified. |
WMDM_E_MAC_CHECK_FAILED | The message authentication check failed. |
Remarks
Not all storage media support serial numbers, but a serial number is required to support Microsoft digital rights management. If the storage medium cannot report a unique serial number, content protected by Microsoft digital rights management cannot be transferred to this storage medium. The return code should be checked to determine whether the storage medium provides this support.
Example Code
The following C++ code retrieves the serial number of the root storage object, and verifies the MAC.
hr = m_pStorageGlobals->GetSerialNumber(&m_SerialNumber, (BYTE*)abMAC);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
// Verify the MAC using the CSecureChannelClient member.
m_pSAC->MACInit(&hMAC);
m_pSAC->MACUpdate(hMAC, (BYTE*)(&m_SerialNumber), sizeof(m_SerialNumber));
m_pSAC->MACFinal(hMAC, (BYTE*)abMACVerify);
if (memcmp(abMACVerify, abMAC, sizeof(abMAC)) != 0)
{
hr = E_FAIL;
}
}
