UUID changes after every reboot of a VM/Host?

[aadje93]

Dear truenas community, altough i realy enjoy truenas scale's virtualization capability, i did notice the UUID of VM's changes, i have software that creates a unique hw id based on the NIC Mac's and the UUID of the bios/motherboard thats being virtualized. So now after every reboot, and change of the UUID at the generated hw id of the license coupling is not valid anymore, and i have to get in touch with the support department to get it valid again which is pretty annoying to say the least.

Is it possible to give a static UUID to the kvm vm's in truenas scale either via script, or by editing a file on the host machine?

looking forward to your help!
