Comment(by martin.langhoff):

 Cool -- your comments make sense, thanks! Only one observation -- even if
 the MAC address is used only once (I misunderstood that!) it is a bad
 idea. Here is the scenario

  - We have many laptops in the classroom, kids take one (anyone) and plug
 their SoaS in it.

  - So user martin uses laptop A in his first day at school with his SoaS.
 His SN/UUID are made based on the MAC addr of laptop A....

  - A week later, jimmy joins the group for the first time. Laptop A is the
 one he grabs! His SN/UUID are made based on the MAC addr of laptop A....

  - Ooops!
