A GUID, or Globally Unique Identifier, is a special identifier used in software applications. Although a GUID is not guaranteed to be unique, the posibility that two keys are the same is minimal. The number of unique keys are 2^128. In other words, it represents 3.4e+38 or 340,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 unique keys. That's a whole lot of keys if you ask me. There are several types of structures, but the most commonly used, and the one used here is the 8-4-4-4-12, in which there are n number of hex values separated by a dash ('-'). You'll see what I mean if you scroll down below.
