For what purpose do you need a "unique identifier"?
If the stats gained from the registration should be worth anything, I guess it's important to be able to sort multiple registrations out.
Did you read what Mr. Loeffler wrote? I cite it again:
Michael Loeffler wrote:
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
So I talked about a service useful for both users and net. It is simply about optimizing net paths. All other steps were described as optional by Mr. Loeffler. So just call the things as they are: - net optimization, which requires architecture, version and time zone(location) - registration, which asks for additional unique information And again to Mr. Loeffler, what is the reason for a unique identifer for the "net optimization" step?
