Thread-topic: Server Assistant - Invlaid Serial Number
Not sure if this is the same issue but we got a new xserve G5 and the serial that came with it was wrong. Like the 3rd or 4th field needed to be a number and it was a letter or vice versa. Anyway it was one digit off I forget now, I'm not at work to look at the serial. I think it explained specifically where you type the serial that it tells you this, I forget where I read it now also.
But I called Apple and they emailed me a new one. But that last march, surely they got that under control by now and you also say the serial is valid so this may not be the issue but something to double check just in case.
Thanks,

You might be like me and find that you were given a bunch of serials
that Server Assistant won't accept, yet are perfectly valid.
Your choices are to either:
* Do the whole install from the commandline and use serversetup to
enter the serial.
* Enter in a serial from another machine that does work, and then use
serversetup to change it after rebooting.
You could also just try and finish off the configuration from the
command line, but I can't remember where the serial request comes in
and what is left to do from that point. Someone else might though...
