Especially the "Caveats for using the serial number" are very true ("It is possible for a system to lose its serial number"), and the statement "The Ethernet MAC ... is the closest fit to these requirements available on Macintosh computers" is still accurate. Apologies if this is a little off topic for this list, but hopefully someone can help me. During my installation, I want to get a SN from the user and some other unique identifying characteristics of the machine. I need some advice on which characteristics would be good to use and how to obtain them -- every search I do seems to turn up a decade-old tech note (TN 1103) but I'm having trouble finding anything current. Does anyone know if there is an updated version of this document, or if there's somewhere else I should be looking? This email sent to below@mac.com This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
