As many S/W co. required to license it's product to their user, many required you to have the Device ID to install. I know one of them is Mapping / GPS S/W; Destinator.
Other devices, this no. is included / reported under Device Information (Start > System > Device Information), but unique to this mdl. it is not listed (other HTC made products have it), so the Question is how do you find it?
I called the HTC Support (outsourced to India / Pakistan I think, all of my 3 calls answered by their accented tech supports), low level tech know nothing, even they don't know if such exist. After this call, I kept searching and accidentally stumble to Windows Update Icon in Settings and attempted to do the update. Unexpectedly, the update was completed w/o any, my system is up-to-date, I supposed, and in the log report through this process, there it is ... the Device ID no. is revealed.
I called HTC support again, and discuss this particular subject, as I expected, this 2nd low level tech support do not know anything too, just as the first. So, I asked to be connected to the supervisory tech support and was promised that he would call me back.
The supervisor tech support called approx. 45 min. later. Yes, as I expected, he insisted that no such thing in this device known as the Device ID, though I mentioned to every one (all 3 of them), that, such, existed in my other 10+ previous devices I owned and majority of them are made by HTC.
And, obviously we debated and they feel strongly that they know better ... hallooo ... they may do on other subject, but on this particular one ... ??? ??? ???
My point is: I sincerely hope that their (HTC team that developed the x7501) to include this information in their future update (either through ROM or Device Info) so we can use S/W that requires it.
Hallooo ... ooo ... HTC ... ... ...
So, for you that need this info, here is how:
Start > Settings > System > Windows Update ... and view / read the log after finish, in it you will find your unique Device ID and IMEI no. as well (the IMEI no. is also available through Device Information)
