UUID Generator is a small, but useful application for generating Universally Unique Identifier (UUID). Basically, a UUID is an identifier standard used in software construction, standardized by the Open Software Foundation as part of the Distributed Computing Environment. The basic purpose of UUIDs is to enable distributed systems to uniquely identify information without significant central coordination. That means just about anyone can create a UUID and be able to use it to identify something with reasonable confidence that the identifier will never be unintentionally used by anyone for anything else.

Information labeled with UUIDs can therefore be later combined into a single database without any need to resolve name conflicts. The most widespread use of this standard is Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs) which implement this standard, the ext2/ext3 file system; LUKS encrypted partitions, GNOME, KDE, and Mac OS X. All of which use implementations derived from the UUID library found in the e2fsprogs package. Basically, a UUID is a 16-byte (128-bit) number.

This new or latest version of UUID Generator now remembers braces selection, new keyboard shortcuts, as well as a new copy to clipboard after generation option. Another remarkable thing you will notice about this new version is that it will open Rizone3.com once on the first start.
