hey, id like to know if Anticheat Systems read your Hardware ID in case u get detected

I think to know that Windows uses this for licence in case you change to much Hardware.
So how does it come, that nothing happens when u change your HWID with extern Software?
but back to my orignal question: Does changing it have any positive effect against Anticheat Systems?

Yes a lot of anti-cheats record various hardware information. It is not just 1 ID that is recorded typically either, it is multiple. Such as:
- Your MAC address.
- Your main drives serial number (where Windows is installed).
- Other misc component serials to prevent you from swapping 1 piece to bypass a ban. (Such as your motherboard, CPU, etc.)

It all depends on the anti-cheat though, not all of them do it.
