Exactly - if a OVF import would not create a new UUID then VirtualBox would e.g. refuse to import the same OVF file twice. VirtualBox uses the VM UUID to distinguish VMs (we don't require the VM name to be unique, of couse it's a good idea to keep them unique for practical reasons) Can you explain a little more why you need to be able to check the identity, or how you/the used software checks for identity? There might be possibilities, but without context it's impossible to guess what might be interesting for you. > There are no any special attributes in the OVF/OVA package to identify > systems as the one.
