Still I feel that demanding registration is a wrong way and should be abandoned.
I would like to bring in some facts into this discussion.
We're talking abouth the automatic Onling Update Configuration. The purpose is to get a suitable update source configured for one's system. In order to deliver that service Novell's backend service needs to know a few things: - unique identifier - system architecture - product and product version - time zone
For what purpose do you need a "unique identifier"? As a suggestion, I would leave out anything "uniqe" and call the process "net optimization" instead of "registration", then everybody would welcome this nice feature, instead of sending critical comments. Just my 2 Cents. Ciao Siegbert
