Resolution
At installation a unique Device ID is assigned

The Device Hostname is not a unique identifier, but each Device will have a unique Device ID. This Device ID is unique for the environment the Device is registered to. Updating the Sensor does not change the Device ID, but if the Sensor is uninstalled and reinstalled a new Device ID is generated.
