How to find windows installation date and time in java

807580Jan 25 2010 — edited Jan 27 2010

Hi all ,
I need to find a unique ID for PC in java so that I could dedicate my application to that PC and by running my application on each PC I could check its ID and be sure that the PC is the same .
Ive tried Mac address ,PC Hard serial but they are not unique for all PCs (usually when they are from same company)
In .net I used this function : ManagementObjectSearcher("select * from Win32_Registry")
to get some windows OS information like windows installation date and time and pc name and OS version and etc , and by combination of this information I was creating an ID .
but I cannot find how to get this information in java .

I appreciate it if anyone could help me with this.
Best regards
