HW_PROFILE_INFO Windows 8.1 bug

I'm using this piece of code to unique identity the computers, but it seems it doesn't work properly on Windows 8.1.

HW_PROFILE_INFO HwProfInfo;
if (!GetCurrentHwProfile(&HwProfInfo))
return;

std::wstring ws(HwProfInfo.szHwProfileGuid);
std::string GUID(ws.begin(), ws.end());

printf("%s\n", GUID.c_str());
Every Windows 8.1 computer generate this GUID:

{bbed3e02-0b41-11e3-8249-806e6f6e6963}

How is it possible or what I'm doing wrong?
