Could be per device, to track future devices. Could be to separate test devices from the real ones by changing the user/pass without using a different link that might actually work.

Besides, as each user has a separate access to repositories from Nokia (as per purchasing), activity is already tracked. My Stuff in the store knows what I installed.

But no number.
