Precisely. It's impossible to change it. Kinda like a mac address.

You can clone a mac address

how was this not done sooner?
it's just AES encryption based on the drive's serial number.

you can even see it by looking at the xreg.sys from your console.

Everybody was expecting you to do it since it's so simple for you.

They waited and waited but in the end they decided to do it for you......

Wat, MAC addresses can be changed as well with a bit fiddling, can't they? It's just illegal changing them or something, isn't that more like how it is?

After you restart your computer your mac address is reverted back to your original. It can't be done PERMANENTLY

Sorry about a slight off-topic.

There are millions of network device on this planet. I wonder if the unique MAC address could run out someday?

Thanks.
