But if you want it simply, start command prompt, change to the drive-letter of your card [such as E:] and type vol. The displayed volume serial number you can use unhyphenated in the keygen. It is not necessary to convert from Hex to Dez.

Hoax or some stupid joke?
Sorry but the VOL command doesn't have anything to do with the CID of a memory card. The volume ID changes after a reformat of a drive. It's also possible to change a volume id by a command. The CID is something completely different and will NEVER change for a specific memory card.

Example with changing the volume id:

Furthermore it's even more complicated than whitedrag0n suggests. "READCID.EXE" application will only work if the memory card reader is attached directly to the PCI bus. No USB type of memory card reader will have the capability to access the CID parameters through the USB API.

jo0ls own words about his READCID.EXE:

currently works only on Vista 64. Weirdly it only works when compiled for the x86 platform (the build target in visual studio). When I tried it on Vista 32 I got invalid handle errors. Sheesh. The other biggy is that it only works when the SD Card is plugged into a reader that is attached directly to the pci bus. If USB is involved in the chain, then the DeviceIOControl messages go to the USB host controller, and it doesn't understand them.
