How to get Motherboard serial number?

I want to use Motherboard serial number for licensing mechanism.
I am able to get MAC address of Network Adapter. If user changes the
NIC, MAC changes.
I want to use some client information which is stable. I prefer to
use Motherboard's serial number.

anybody knows how to get Motherboard serial number?

Thanks in Advance.

Thanks for your suggestion.
I tried to get motherboard serial number from Win32_BaseBoard class
also.
'SerialNumber' property returns null. Don't know where should i get
this serial number.

There is also Win32_ComputerSystemProduct but, like Win32_BaseBoard,
it reads the SMBIOS tables...

can not we get BIOS serial number using WIN API's?
I want to make a small application without using COM.
is it possible?
