That's what doesn't make sense. If the UUID is unique to the install, then
it doesn't tell you anything. If it is somehow unique to the hardware,
then that mapping needs to be made transparent as that reveals other
information (probably cpu and disk serial numbers and nic mac addresses)
about the users hardware.

If you are really worried about duplicate installs on essentially the
same machine, then perhaps a check box indicating that would be a better
way to provide that information.
