This may help:

private string GetDeviceID()
        {
            HardwareToken token = HardwareIdentification.GetPackageSpecificToken(null);
            IBuffer hardwareId = token.Id;
            HashAlgorithmProvider hasher = HashAlgorithmProvider.OpenAlgorithm("MD5");
            IBuffer hashed = hasher.HashData(hardwareId);
            string hashedString = CryptographicBuffer.EncodeToHexString(hashed);
            return hashedString;
        }
