Using VBScript to get correct MAC Address from computer name. YZlat asked on 2010-03-25. VB Script; 2 Comments. Last Modified: 2012-05-09. I'm trying to put some basic level of protection to an Excel (for Windows) application I'm writing. I was thinking on generating a license file using the machine's mac address. My question is: how can I get the Mac Address using VBScript? I want to write a vbscript which will give me only the mac address of the connected network. And I want to set this MAC address as environmental variable using a batch file. Could you please suggest me how to get only the mac address of the connected network and display the mac address. How to use COM libraries on the Mac. What makes VBS in WSH so different from browser script is the function CreateObject. That allows VBS to load and use any compatible COM object. But COM libraries are Windows. They usually call Win32 API functions and/or.
About Mac Scripting
The ospp.vbs script. The Office Software Protection Platform script (ospp.vbs) enables you to configure volume licensed versions of Office products, including Project and Visio. The opss.vbs script is located in the Program Files Microsoft Office Office16 folder.
Scripting allows you to automate complex, repetitive, and time-consuming tasks by writing scripts that interact with apps, processes, and the operating system. A script consists of a series of statements, each of which performs a specific operation. These statements work together to automate tasks. Through scripting, you can create powerful workflow solutions that enhance productivity, reduce errors, save time, and save money.
There are many different scripting languages. On the Mac, the primary ones used for automation are AppleScript and JavaScript.
Note
OS X also includes Automator, an app for building workflows that run prebuilt, configurable actions to perform tasks in apps and throughout the operating system. Automator doesn’t require you to write any code, but can be extended through scripting. Because Automator uses preconceived actions and operates in a linear manner, it’s more limited in functionality than scripting. Automator is great for performing simple tasks involving a small number of sequential steps or apps. Scripting is a better choice for performing advanced, branching, or complex tasks.
Python and Perl are other examples of scripting languages.
AppleScript
AppleScript is a mature scripting language developed by Apple. It’s relatively easy to learn in relation to other scripting and programming languages, has been around since System 7.1, and has been widely adopted in both enterprise and personal workflows. While the AppleScript scripting language uses an English-like terminology which may appear simple, it is a rich, object-oriented language, capable of performing complicated programming tasks.
The core fundamentals of AppleScript are described in AppleScript Language Guide, as well as in numerous third-party books.
JavaScript
JavaScript is a popular cross-platform scripting language. Historically, it’s been most commonly used to implement features on websites and in web-based apps that are accessed through browsers. However, some apps implement JavaScript-based scripting models for the purpose of automation. In OS X 10.10, JavaScript became a peer to AppleScript in OS X. There are many third-party websites and books that document the JavaScript language.
