Anyone know an API (preferably Win32, yes, sorry, I know) or way I can get the Processor Serial Number, I need a reliable unique number to use with the hard drive serial number for a license key system I'm writing.

Indeed so; as far as it's concerned we are coders therefore we provide all the code. Took me long enough to convince them to buy in support for the barcode system I wanted to save us from compatibility hell.

That said it's not really going to see serious attack (as far as I can predict) and anyone who was serious enough to want to circumvent a serial number/security system would be able to break the code wide open and disable that section anyway.
