On Symantec Encryption Desktop before 10.3.2, this unique MACHINEGUID value is created during installation.This value needs to be a unique identifier for each computer and if the value is either missing or malformed, invalid data can then be sent to the Symantec Encryption Management Server. This is a unique value generated by the client to identify the Device ID with the Symantec Encryption Management Server (previously PGP Universal Server). Symantec Encryption Desktop (previously PGP Desktop) includes a registry value called MACHINEGUID.
