they might have virtual serial numbers (for whole core licensing only) - depending on the cloud
provider and the need to dynamically move to other systems.

I have a customer inquiring how licensing will work on a cloud system that
they claim may move from VM to VM and they don't have serial numbers.

Is this the case? For example, can some systems not have logical serial
numbers, and/or serial numbers and/or model numbers?

I have many customers on the cloud and this is the first I've heard of this.
