This is a G5 machine, so it must be new enough. Maybe it has been in
for repairs. Thanks for the tip!

Hi All.
I am working on a software licensing system that keys itself to
the serial # of a particular machine. This has been working fine,
except we bumped into a machine with no serial #. It even shows as
a blank on Apple System Profiler. Has anybody bumped into this, or
know the reason why a machine might have no serial #?
Thanks!

Two possible reasons I know of, there might be more!
- The mainboard has been replaced, but someone forgot to 'burn' a
serial number into it. (Seen that a few times)
- The machine is too old (meaning before the first G3 machines,
probably not an issue any more)
HTH,
Horst
