SRM changes Hardware ID and Hardware Serial Number?

Hello,

After a failover to recovery data center will my Windows Server 2016 VMs Hardware ID and Serial Number change? We have software that is bound to the HW ID and need to verify. Example below from a hardware base machine but this is what I am referring. No longer have a lab to test but I believe the HW Serial (UUID) is in the vmx file...Thank you kindly!

II would be happy to provide the utility used in the screen capture if anyone has an SRM lab to test. Thanks!
