After researching the archives I have managed to extract my Machine
Serial Number (and Sales Order Number). Thanks mostly to posts by
Werner Sinnhoefe, Alaster Houghton and Tomas Zahradnicky Jr.
The only questionable part of my code is the fact that I am using a
constant (3) when extracting the ending characters of the Machine
Serial Number string from the beginning of the Sales Order Number
string.
Is there an official call I should be using to determine this offset in
order to maintain future compatibility?
Otherwise can I rely on this offset being (3)?

Before this message breaks down into the political discussion of copy
protection and the Machine Serial Number not being available on all
machines: A) I don't care. B) I am using it in addition to the primary
MAC address.
(I just weeded through more than 6 dozen archived messages where the
mere mention of Machine Serial Numbers broke down into a copy
protection debate without the original question being answered.)
