This was/is a tough issue.
The easiest way, tbh, is to look at patterns for that fingerprint(s) rather than assume they are all unique. This is where a rules engine comes into play.
The "real" way to do this is to track upgrading components (like plugins etc) and create new fingerprints as they evolve, associate them with the old ones and over time sunset old fingerprints. This is harder to do in practice, though.
Also, some fingerprinting approaches track things like monitor resolution, which is tough b/c a docked laptop has a different fingerprint than the same undocked laptop. So the approach differs based on what you track.
