+  The System Hardware ID Generator Script is a Python tool designed
+  to generate a unique Hardware ID (HWID) for the device it runs on.
+  The HWID is represented as an 18-digit integer, making it efficient
+  for storage in databases and indexing. This script can be used in 
+  various applications such as software licensing, device
+  authentication, and hardware inventory management.
