Accessing serial number via code

We have an inventory program that reads the serial numbers from the laptops, desktops and monitors.
Since we've gone to the newer laptops (8460p, 8470p, etc.) the information returned is not actually the serial number, but rather some other number.  So far they all start with PC and are 14 characters long.  We're using VB NET 2008 and the 'Win32_BaseBoard' object to try and retrieve the serial number from the PCs.  Does anyone have any idea how to programatically retrieve the serial number?  Thanks.

The serial number is not in any backup file. It is stored in the computer's ROM and on the inside of the battery compartment. The Apple registration site is here.

  • Old computer was wiped clean before CS6 could be deactivated. New computer and CS6 require  serial number/activation code that I don't have recorded.

    How do I proceed?

    Sign in to your Adobe account online and see if your serial number is available via the My products section.  If you regstered your software then it should be available there.
    Your only other hope beyond that would be to contact Adobe Support thru chat and see if they can help you.  Also ask them to reset your activations so that the lost installation is essentially deactivated.

    Are you looking for the serial number or the IMEI? If the phone was active on your Verizon acount, Verizon can give you the IMEI.

  • So, I'm trying to install my Photoshop Elements 7 that I got with my Bamboo Pen and touch.... Serial number, lost codes.

    Yep, as the topic says, I need help. is there any way at all that I can get a code for my photoshop Elements 7 so I could use it again? I have the CD right here with me it came in a Bamboo Pen and Touch set a long time ago as part of a software package and I was younger then so I didn't exactly register up with adobe or anything.... Please any help would be great! I'd really like to start drawing again.

    It isn't likely that much can be done since you appear to have no proof of ownership.  In any case, you need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.
    Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

  • Can't access serial number. Now what?

    We long forgot the password of this device and it is disabled.It says to connect to Itunes. I did that but Itunes either ignores the device or says "Itunes could not connect to the ipod because it is locked with a passcode". So thedevice says to see itunes, itunes says to see the device. Catch 22? I hate to tell the kid that her ipod is only good for parts because she forgot the password. Several posts I've read say to put the device in recovery mode then connect to itunes. It doesn't do anything differently.
    I thought I could contact apple but they say that I need theserial number off this device. However, it haslong been scratchedup like the rest of the casing and I cannot access itunes toretrieve it there. So apple won't let me ask a question (now ift they had put the serial number somewhere other than the soft cheap plastic case I might be able to do something about this - but of course, that makes too much sense).
    Thanks

  • Change a Serial Number via DI API

    Hi All,
    We have captured a bunch of serial numbers and some of them are wrong. The client has a lot of items and we want to use an excel spreadsheet to update the item numbers that was captured incorrectly. In other words we want to import the correct serial numbers via the DI API. You can change the serial numbers in SBO via Inventory > Item Management > Serial Numbers > Serial Number Management. Enter your item that's got serial numbers in it, click OK and you can modify the Serial Number.
    I have searched the forum and found this post that seems to say that it is not possible. Anything new on this?
    Is there a "standalone" SerialNumbers - Object in DI?
    Thanks in advance,
    Adele

    Adele,
    Looking at the SerialNumbers Object for the 2007A DI API, there does not seem to be an Update method available, only "Add" and "SetCurrentLine" ... so I would say that there is currently no change.

    That is strange, it seems to work for me. We'll try something else!
    I'm not sure what region you are located in, but here are two links which should work, please choose the one which applies to you. Let me know if this works?
    These links apply to those who have purchased an education product from a reseller, which I presume you have.

  • Update serial number via DI-API , PickList Function doesn't make sense

    First , Our client want to update the serial number after posting the delivery.
    they receive the goods and store into warehouse,
    but they don't want to scan the serial-number twice ( Incoming-Receive and Outgoing-Delivery )
    they would like to generate a temp serial number for goods receive.
    then they will post a delivery note and choosing the temp serial number for the items.
    after that, their workers scan the serial on the truck and update the serial number of good of delivery note .
    however, the serial number management object is missing. i wish DI-API would provide this kind of function.
    ==========================
    On the other hand, our client have one customer but different delivery address
    i would like to do a delivery via a the pick and pack module,
    B1 will group two or more sales order to one delivery even these order have different shipping address ,
    it doesn't make sense, i wish split the delivery while the shipping address of sale order are not the same.
    Thanks

    Hello Adrian
    Please have a look at SAP Note.864113,which explains how to enter initial quantities for Stock via the DI
    or DTW.
    In both case,the oStockTaking object/template should be used.
    After this information has been entered, the process must be completed
    manually via the Business One client using the Stock posting option
    under 'Initial quantities, Stock taking and Stock posting' window.
    PS:This process is not valid if the items are managed by Serial/Batch.
    In order to do that please follow note 841270.

  • MDM suitable to manage "discreet device" data, like serial number, EPC code

    We are exploring MDM as a replacement (and enhancement) for homegrown device master, but it's unclear to us from documentation whether MDM looks at "product" strictly in its logical definition (all physical products of same type has one set of data), or if it can have data structures to support unique device data, meaning each physically unique product, and its associated data being different.  Best example is probably storing serial number data for warranty purposes.  Ranges of serial numbers tied to a part # is not sufficient enough.  Obviously this means pulling Customer and Product master data together.  Any pointers would be appreciated.

    In MDM you can classify your products based on Taxonomy.
    Each Category in the Taxonomy can have attributes attached to it.
    Ex: You could have two categories called "Digital Cameras" and "Photograhpic Films".
    The attributes of these two categories may be different.
    Ex: For digital Cameras, you could have attributes like "Resolution in Mega Pixels".
    So when you create a product in the MDM, and assign this product to "Digital Cameras" category, then you can maintain the value for this attribute - Resolution in Mega Pixels.
    In the Data Model in MDM, you can have fields and attributes.
    Fields are information which you would want irrespective of the Category.
    Ex: Every Product should have a Product Number, Product Description.
    These are modeled as Fields.
    Information which are Category specific are created as Attributes and these attributes  are linked to the Category.
    The attributes are category specific.
    As far as possible, try not to maintain any transactional data at all in MDM.
    Is Serial Number really a Master Data?
    Ex: If I am manufacturing Transmissions of Model-Trucks, then the serial numbers are more transactional.
    A customer could have bought more than one transmissions from you. You have to maintain the Serial Numbers for each of the transmission for Warrenty purpose.
    This is more transactional. Else you will end up storing all Serial Numbers of all Customer Sales Orders in MDM.
    Avoid treating MDM as a transactional system.
    This is just a thought.

  • Trouble receiving conformation serial number/via email

    Just bought Adobe Photoshop, teachers/student edition. I filled out the required information and they were supposed to email it to my .edu address. Hours later, and still no conformation serial number so I can install photoshop. Does it just take a while for them to process the request? Thanks for the feedback, looking forward to getting some answers on this.

    OK. I'll investigate this AM. Thanks for sending the email to me.
    It should take up to two business days. So if you submitted on Friday, you could expect it on Tuesday. Or if if you submitted on a monday, the latest you could expect it is Wednesday.
    Please note, you can install the Student Teacher version and select the free 30 day trial to use your product during this period (Provided you haven't used up you free 30 day trial already)

    Hi Beckijacko,
    Serial numbers are Operating System specific. If you bought the product for Windows then it wont work on Mac or vice-versa. If you're having issues finding the serial number in the Adobe account, then please follow the steps in the below mentioned link :
    Find your serial number quickly
    And, you can also contact our customer support : Contact Customer Care
    P.S - If you have not registered the serial number in any of the Adobe account then I am afraid it would be difficult for support team to help you in that.
    Let me know if you need further assistance on this,
    Thanks,
    Eshant Jindal

  • How can I dynamically access serial number from FP1601 device?

    This question is similar to one I asked about FP2200 for getting the serial number dynamically but since it pertains to a different module without an OS and will probably use different VIs, I started a new thread.
    I need to do the same thing for FP1601 modules, which don't use the RT VIs which enabled me to get the serial number off of FP2200. How can I get such information out of a "dumb" field point with no OS? The serial number is displayed in measurement and automation explorer so it must be stored somewhere.

    Hi kgolden,
    Unfortunately, with the non-RealTime devices, finding the serial number programatically this isn't as easy.   You can however, use the VIs on the Measurement I/O>>System Configuration palette to find the devices on your system and then read/write the device's setting (such as the serial number).   There are shipping examples in LabVIEW that show how to use the VIs.  You can get to these examples by Going to Help>>Find Examples in LabVIEW.  The system configuration examples are in the Hardware Input and Output>>System Configuration.   You should be able to modify the Show All Hardware VI to find your FieldPoint and serial number. 
    Best Regards,
    Starla T.
