From the Solutions Enabler 7.6 security guide:
Hardware-based access ID: By default, a host's access ID is derived from hardware
characteristics of that host. On x86 (32-bit Intel), x86_64 (64-bit Intel/AMD), and IA
64 platforms, a network interface MAC address is used. On other platforms, different
characteristics of the host, such as a processor identifier, are used.
I've seen it change based upon new hardware added or even kernel changes, as it then discovers the hardware in a different order (specifically the network card order).
To guarantee the unique ACL key won't vary because of some some arbitrary hardware change or order of discovery, use "SYMAPI_ALTERNATE_ACCESS_ID = ENABLE" in the ../config/options file. It will change it from what it currently is, but this key is then stored in an encrypted file rather than basing it on the hardware.

The ACL key is generated from the machine hardware. It will not change as a result of any software upgrades, application or operating system.
