Is it possible for different machines to produce the same machine code?

[CatABC]

@CatABC Please tell me this can't happen.

[d.healey]

@CatABC No it's not possible, the system ID is based on the hardware of the device. Why do you think this has happened?

[CatABC]

@d-healey I distributed the plugin to a lot of people and the same plugin on two of them gave the same machine code. I think someone is lying, but neither admitted they had any communication.

Did you verify this?

[CatABC]

@d-healey I've verified that this has never happened.But the words of these two people were so certain that I doubted myself.

How are you showing them the machine ID?

@CatABC Do you use the unlocker system? I don't see where having 2 times the same ID can be an issue, since the machineID is tied to a unique license. You can definitely have several licenses with one unique ID, otherwise you couldn't distribute different products...

@d-healey
Here is my method

const var Label1 = Content.getComponent("Label1");

const var machineId = FileSystem.getSystemId();

Label1.set("text", machineId);

@CatABC Looks pretty fool proof to me.

@ustk I am using RSA and generate different key pairs for different products

[CatABC]

@d-healey So I need a positive answer from my fellow forum members to encourage my guess. Now I am relieved. Someone must be lying.

@CatABC Perhaps JUCE_USE_BETTER_MACHINE_IDS can help here.... dunno...

[CatABC]

@ustk Nice, I will use this to enhance the machine code generation in future plugins, thank you
