What is "Machine ID"?

AFAIK none of the ID’s available in the Windows OS matches the “machine ID” used by VCV.

The machineID is computed by VCV, and is shown, if a premium module is loaded and for some reason rack cant get in touch with the VCV rack server api server. I don’t know of any other method to display the “Machine ID” in VCV than removing the .vcvkey file(s) and runnign rack withtout an internet-connection (block in firewall).

the .vcvkey files in Documents\Rack2\licenses contain the ID - but they only get created upon sucessfully starting rack pro or a premium module install + API server transaction.
