Though I am against this idea, there is more unique-ID elements in a computer, such like: * Network Interface Card MAC address; * Hard disk serial number (not the formatting one); * BIOS serial number, BIOS date... A GUID could be formed by HDD serial number + Mac Address + installed RAM Memory + a code to identify processor type, all this treated by a code generated on the date and time of installation. But I think that this is a negative point and people will compare us with a certain enterprise. ;)
