How to install virtualbox bios uuid

I am trying to use my own Windows installation in VirtualBox, and since it has an OEM license, I need to reuse the BIOS UUID for activation.

Some system information:
OS: Arch Linux, kernel 4.1.6-1
Virtualbox: 5.0.4_OSEr102546

The device uses a raw vmdk disk, limited to 6 partitions, which were used for native Windows installation.

I already applied commands like modifyvm --hardwareuuid and setextradata for a lot of dmi data.

Relevant lines from config:
