Did you mean the SusClientId? AFAIK this is the only identifier WSUS uses to distinguish between computers (they also don't have to be on the same domain).

On new clones you only need to delete the SusClientId key under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate; the update service will take care of assigning the machine a new ID.

Am I the only one who thinks this could be a good idea? It gives copyright holders a chance to adapt to the new - possibly better way - to distribute their material. I can imagine big studios (**AA spooks) vehemently demanding that the torrents be removed. But the smaller/indie ones would probably consider it. I mean, their stuff are being downloaded anyway, why not earn from that too?

And who knows, if this system works for the small guys, the big ones might even change their minds.
