I found the code for getting the device ID on .net, but it seems that
corelib.dll cannot be found on the Dllimport statement. I searched the
visual studio directory for it and came up empty. Anyone know where this is
on windows mobile 5?

The file name is coredll.dll, it is in ROM on every device.

In Windows Mobile 5.0 there is a new API you can use for uniquely
identifying a device - GetDeviceUniqueID. You would need to P/Invoke the
GetDeviceUniqueID API from managed code.

Thanks,
