AIR licensing Merlose MY_UNIQUE_32_HEX_NUM

Quick Tip: What is MY_UNIQUE_32_HEX_NUM?

When working with Adobe Merlose licensing code I hit MY_UNIQUE_32_HEX_NUM variable containing some generated string (XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX). As there was nothing within my emails from melrose that would correspond to that string, investigation got started.

Mistery solved!
