try this
ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep system-id
on all my computers the same identifier, it is probably not very good. In modification of Stickpin works well.

Apple hardware doesn't seem to have a system-id;
[gigabyte:~] me% ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep '"system-id"'
    | |     "system-id" = <0102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f10>

No way

All my Macs (5 @home and a small army (read hundreds) @work) return a systemID (and none is full of 0s)

Stop bitching, start coding or documenting or both..

Show us the system-id and product-name from your Apple hardware.
There are differences between Apple hardware, even within a particular family line.
[apple:~] me% ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep '"system-id"'
[apple:~] me% ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep product-name
    |   "product-name" = <"MacPro1,1">

Yep I know, but:

-I wasn't born yesterday and I won't start posting UUIDs left+right in public fora
-I don't see why people get so excited about UUIDs as the ultimate Mac-like thing
-I still suggest to stay cool, think twice and refer to official/original sources.

Nothing personal in my replies, just remember where all previous restless attempts ended up in the past.

I assume from your response that you accept that I'm being truthful when I write that Apple hardware MacPro1,1 doesn't have a system-id (and it's IOPlatformUUID starts with zeros);
[apple:~] me% ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep IOPlatformUUID
    |   "IOPlatformUUID" = "00000000-0000-1000-8000-0017F25951A8"
[apple:~] me%

The system-id is a construct of IntVar's modification of David Elliott's fake_efi.c, not of Apple's code, and IOPlatformUUID is derived from en0's MAC on some Apple hardware, and from something like uuidgen on other Apple hardware (?=alphanumeric);
MacPro1,1: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-???????????? (last 12 is en0's MAC)
MacPro2,1: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-???????????? (last 12 is en0's MAC)
MacPro3,1: ????????-????-????-????-???????????? (?)
MacPro4,1: ????????-????-????-????-???????????? (?)

Exactly, I don't mean to argue with you or anyone else about truthfulness or the lack of. I'm sure you understand that headaches may brake loose from the clueless or the smart-ass who will re-package stolen work/efforts/info with a shiny LED and a price tag.

To be able to watch Netflix streaming is big enough of deal already, not to mention iTunes verification. I hope they will fix this soon.

Point taken!  :)

But, just to be fair, if these issues were not brought up, developers and the powers that be would not deem them of sufficient priority to their users. Otherwise, how would they know it needs to be addressed?
Secondly, studying how the system works in Apple hardware better equips us in our goal to achieve better compatibility. This isn't a blind let's-be-more-Mac-like just for the sake of it.

a) Kudos for your contributions MAJ

b) I'm sharing your thoughts, some of us may work under NDAs, feed a family etc. There's more to contribution than meets the eye :)

c) Most people just want to "solve their problem" be it iTunes or the latest Flash toy that displays dancing unicorns in their browser.  Kinda forgetting that they're running a hack and start throwing buzzwords left+right "Yo peepz, this broke my vanilla install! What's wrong? KEXT, MKEXT, DSDT, UUID, EFI? My Themes broke sleep, heeeeelp!?". Gotta focus on stuff/feedback/info that makes sense to move on.

Happy New Year to all of you & your families

So I have seen it listed as
<key>DeviceID</key>
<key>SystemID</key>
<key>system-id</key>

also the UUID is listed with dashes or without dashes in the <string>?

I have come across 3 different UUID, all of them not matching the one entered. One even matches the standard superhai platformUUID.

Can someone clear this up so we know what to use.
