Intel Processor Serial Number Control
Utility

The Intel Processor Serial Number Control utility is a Windows program
that enables or disables the reading of the Pentium III processor serial
number by software. This function lets you control which software
programs or websites have permission to read the processor serial
number. When installed, the utility runs automatically each time the
system powers on.

This utility places an icon in the Windows system tray. The icon provides
a visual status of the processor serial number. You have the option of
hiding the system tray icon. You can disable the processor serial number
at any time. However, enabling the serial number requires restarting the
system.
