Strange...KOTOR2 creates GUIDs
Posted: Sun Mar 27, 2005 8:03 am
In your Windows registry, under:
HKLM > Software > Lucasarts > KOTOR2
It seems KOTOR2 makes a GUID for you. Since you don't enter any form of serial number or CD Key when you install the game, it has to be based on a hardware hash of some sort, probably hard disk serial numbers, MAC addresses (if a network card is available), etc.
Why would a non-multiplayer game need GUIDs?
