Mar 05, 2018 A different value is returned for apps on the same device that come from different vendors, and for apps on different devices regardless of vendor. On Android this will always be unique per app per device. Android: InstanceID is an option, but requires many dependencies, So opt for Java.Utils.UUID.RandomUUID.ToString. This is the hardware serial number. To access it on. Android 8 and later (= SDK 26) use android.os.Build.getSerial which requires the dangerous permission READPHONESTATE.Using android.os.Build.SERIAL returns android.os.Build.UNKNOWN. Android 7.1 and earlier (.

It's unique for any device. If you are looking for possibilities on how to get/use a unique device id you should read here.
For a solution involving reflection without requiring a permission see this answer.

Up to Android 7.1 (SDK 25)
Until Android 7.1 you will get it with:
From Android 8 (SDK 26)
On Android 8 (SDK 26) and above, this field will return
UNKNOWN and must be accessed with:
which requires the dangerous permission
android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE .
From Android Q (SDK 29)
Since Android Q using
Build.getSerial() gets a bit more complicated by requiring:
android.Manifest.permission.READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE (which can only be acquired by system apps), or for the calling package to be the device or profile owner and have the READ_PHONE_STATE permission. This means most apps won't be able to uses this feature. See the Android Q announcement from Google.
See Android SDK reference
Best Practice for Unique Device Identifier
If you just require a unique identifier, it's best to avoid using hardware identifiers as Google continuously tries to make it harder to access them for privacy reasons. You could just generate a
UUID.randomUUID().toString(); and save it the first time it needs to be accessed in e.g. shared preferences. Alternatively you could use ANDROID_ID which is a 8 byte long hex string unique to the device, user and (only Android 8+) app installation. For more info on that topic, see Best practices for unique identifiers.

Build.SERIAL can be empty or sometimes return a different value (proof 1, proof 2) than what you can see in your device's settings.
If you want a more complete and robust solution, I've compiled every possible solution I could found in a single gist. Here's a simplified version of it :
Office 2010 customization tool download windows 10. The OCT files are located in the Admin folder under the x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) folders, respectively.The Office 2010 release requires Windows Installer 4.0 on computers that are running the 64-bit version of the OCT or importing 64-bit Setup customization.msp files. Windows Installer 3.1 does not recognize properties such as “ProgramFiles64Folder,” which are used by the 64-bit version of the OCT and the OCT Import feature. We've had some questions about the Windows Installer version required by the Office 2010 Office Customization Tool (OCT) and would like to clarify the requirements.In Office 2010, there are two architecture-specific versions of the OCT, one for 32-bit Office 2010 and one for 64-bit Office 2010. The 64-bit version of the OCT supports 64-bit client editions of Office 2010, and provides the same user interface, capabilities, and configurable settings as the 32-bit version.
I try to update the gist regularly whenever I can test on a new device or Android version. Contributions are welcome too.
