This is weird - my system serial number is there (10-xxxxx), but the software serial number is all zeros.  It's a development box, maybe that has something to do with it...

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.
