Hello

you can get all network from this code
you can find your dongle and get you mac address

C#

foreach (NetworkInterface nic in NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces())
          {

              string tempMac = nic.GetPhysicalAddress().ToString();
              if (nic.Speed > maxSpeed &&
                  !string.IsNullOrEmpty(tempMac) &&
                  tempMac.Length >= MIN_MAC_ADDR_LENGTH)
              {

                  maxSpeed = nic.Speed;
                  macAddress = tempMac;
              }
          }

Solution 3

USB devices don't have MAC addresses, Ethernet interfaces do.

If your "USB dongle" is a Ethernet adapter, then the above code can work.

You are right, but...

If I am right in my guess, he is trying to bypass a licence dongle for a certain software. Those work combining info about the PC and the floating licence in the usb.

Yeah, but I'm not making any assumptions about what he's really doing.
