Re: Displaying License Keys

[Neil Palmer <neilp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Leif,

Thanks.  System serial number starts with a 78- as the machine, before a 
few MES upgrades, was a 9404 for the Canadian market, which used to be 
produced in Mexico.  It's presently a model 600 from Rochester, but the 
old serial # was maintained.  The software serial # starts with 53- but 
I'm not sure if that's what they're asking for.  It sounded to me like 
they wanted a serial # for particular products (5769-PW1 & RG1) and I 
would presume this is the OS/400 software serial # ?

Scan string x'E294D384'

shows your system serial number and 5 lines further down
your software serial number.

If your system is manufactured in Rochester, both will start with
'10-'.  The software serial number contains 7 more digits.
