Should wix product id be auto-generated to change patch number?

I use wix to create an installation for the product. The product has a format version

major.minor.patchnumber

Example:

 4.5.1313

in each of them the last element is stored as 1314, 1315, etc.

I would like to know if I should store the id attribute in the product element, how is it auto generated between changing the patch number or should they remain constant?

If you automatically generate your Product / @ Id, you are doing a major upgrade. If you want to make small updates or minor updates, then you do not want to change Product / @ Id.

See the table in this section http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370579(VS.85).aspx
