Intel Processor Serial Number Control Utility
The Intel Processor Serial Number Control utility is a Windows program that
enables or disables the reading of the Pentium III processor serial number by
software. This function lets you control which software programs or websites
have permission to read the processor serial number. When installed, the utility
runs automatically each time the system powers on.
Note
: The Intel Processor Serial Number Control Utility
is for use with systems shipping with the Intel Pentium III
processor. Installing this utility on a system which does not
contain a Pentium III processor generates an error message.
This utility places an icon in the Windows system tray. The icon provides a
visual status of the processor serial number. You have the option of hiding the
system tray icon. You can disable the processor serial number at any time.
However, enabling the serial number requires restarting the system.
