One way of doing this is to use the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) toolkit. The SDK is freely downloadable from Microsoft's website. But read the installation instructions carefully as the basic install doesn't register all the components you might think that it does.
The particular WMI_Class that you are interested in is Win32_BIOS, and the particular property is IdentificationCode
Hope this helps.
