The hardware ID is a mathematically computed, one-way hash based on your hard drive geometry and CPU family, and cannot be used to identify the make or model of your computer or its components. The code is encrypted and securely stored on your computer alongside the license file. The Hardware ID is only used as an identifier for the machine. A second number is also created, the Activation ID -- the actual request to activate. The Activation ID is composed of the product's serial number, product name, product version, and language along with the operating system name, version, and language.

The Activation ID is only used to identify an individual activation request and contains no personal or hardware information. The activation request is automatically sent to Macromedia backend servers via the internet using an HTTP request with SSL encryption.
