Hardware UUID injection for opencore #711
Comments
Hello, HardwareUUID was deprecated in Clover for the last five years at the very least and is the legacy coming from Chameleon. The fact that Clover Configurator is unaware of this is a problem of Clover Configurator and its users as enforcing this value breaks certain mechanisms in macOS with unknown consequences. Unfortunately for you, we do not have a way to specify it and do not plan to add it in the future. Your best options are to stay with the current bootloader or write to the mentioned software support with a request to migrate to a new computer, something like a motherboard replacement in Mac Store is a valid reason for this, for example. |
Just asking another question similar to this issue: Is OpenCore designed not to automatically generate system-id with the info filled in "PlatformInfo - Generic"? I fresh installed macOS 10.15.4 with the latest OpenCore build and found the system-id section shows
I checked my config twice to make sure the PlatformInfo is correctly filled:
I also opened a thread on forum and people who fresh install the system with OpenCore have the same problem as mine. Is it designed on purpose that system-id won't generate just like the reason there's no injection of hardware UUID option? Thanks! |
Your motherboard UUID may be incorrect. |
Yes. You need to fill it manually. Just as Vandroiy explained, your motherboard UUID may be incorrect, so it is best to stay safe. |
Sorry for the bump after 2.5 years but this is very relevant to me. |
Basically yes. It is EfiBoot that does it, but does not change much. |
What do you mean by that? |
Never mind, my bad. I got confused by the different names that are used for the same ID. I had put the Hardware UUID (dumped within the VM under the original virtualisation software via I thought there was yet another ID (the SMBIOS UID) that would probably be hidden somewhere in the virtual BIOS of my VM, but couldn’t find out where/how to change it. Now I know that there isn’t but that it’s the System UUID of my config.plist Sorry for waisting your time. |
Hi there! I'd like to ask for a solution of injection of hardware UUID.
I've bought some softwares (eg: paragon NTFS) and their licences are bond to the hardware UUID (from system report), not system UUID, which was generated and injected by clover configurator.
When I convert from clover to opencore, the hardware UUID can't be directly assigned but calculated by opencore itself, causing the expiry of my licences.
How should I solve the problem? Thanks!
Best regards.
