Hi Martin, the UFM stores the hex code for nios or your USER flash memory, and not the compiled project (it is stored in CFM). Create POF from SOF (for CFM) and your unique hex file with a unique identifier (for UFM) by "Convert Programming Files" or linking 2 files (in the final pof file, the addresses for cfm and ufm are fixed and specified by the manufacturer).

Unless of course you want to store the ID in ufm and not in cfm.
