Hardware identification

Upon its first connection to the network, Runtime stores its identity on the device disk in a file named auth.bin. The location of this file depends on the system used, as indicated in the following table.

The only scenario in which you cannot restore the identity file is when the disk is replaced. In this case, the device is recognized as a different machine.
