If you open up the computer's enclosure and find a serial number, and
if the computer has a file device, you can use the editor of your
choice to record the number in a file. You can then use fopen()
fgets() to retrieve that number.

char CPUSerialNumber[256] = {0}; /* should be ample */
puts("Please enter the CPU Serial number");
if(fgets(CPUSerialNumber, sizeof CPUSerialNumber, stdin) != NULL)
{
puts("Thank you.");

You can't do that in standard C.

Furthermore, you can't do that in non-standard C on the majority of
computers, because low-end computers do not *have* CPU or motherboard
serial numbers.
