Can I use the same Setup project's ProductCode in 2 applications?

I have 2 stand-alone C# application that belongs to the same product. I
notice ProductCode is automatically generated for me when I created the setup
project. Do I put this code in both stand-alone applicaitons's? Do I just
use what's generated here or do we need to apply for a special id from MS?
Thanks.

You should use a generated product ID for each stand-alone application that
you are releasing. This ID will uniquely identify your application on a
target computer regardless of whether it came by itself or in a package with
multiple other applications.
