Hardware Fingerprint Via SDK?

I was wondering if there was any way to grab a computers Hardware Fingerprint through the toolkit? Or even any other way possible via Code or Command line parameter. I know i can always run showhwfp.exe but i'm looking for a programmatic way of grabbing a PC's hardware fingerprint and Hostid information so we can have LF product activations on record in house to avoid problems with deactivating / reactivating when they have unexpected hardware failure. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

There isn't a way to get the hardware fingerprint using the SDK. We are aware of the need to keep better track of VAR Kit activations, although that's all I can say at this time.

K, pretty jenky but i ended up adding the showhwfp.exe to my project's resources. Launching it as a process, grabbing the window handle, and SendMessage()'ing to get the specific EDIT controls text, and scraping that to a text file in the background. Hope sometime in the future the information could be available via a simple toolkit command : ), but thanks.
