Os x server serial number

i want to re-enter the os x server serial number without reinstalling the server. can this be done?
i want to do this because although the serial number is correct, the site license information below it is wrong (viewed in server admin).
when i highlight that information and press delete on the keyboard the information disappears but once i hit the save button the site license information appears again.
i need to remove the site license information as i believe it's giving me serial number problems. i don't have a site license so those fields should be blank. randomly the server kills all services and in server admin i've seen "invalid serial number" and also "duplicate serial number".

It is also worth asking the question, "…is anyone, anywhere also using this license key?" With the release of Mac OS X 10.4.7, OS X Server began checking to see if its license was 'in use' on any other platform. Again, such an instance will produce the result you see, and the fact that someone else's site information appears suggest that you have installed a duplicate key, intentionally or in error.
Check to see that your key is accurately entered to eliminate this possibility, or contact Apple through your enterprise representative or through (800) APL CARE to determine why this sort of error occurs.

  • Mac Mini software problems, no server serial number

    I purchased a used mac mine but the server numbers were not provided.  Can I install the new snow leopard on it with a superdrive or do i need to purchase a server serial number?

    The serial number should be listed on a card with blue top inserted into the 5" square white package labled "Everything Else".

  • Server serial number

    I managed to get into an unidentified (one of 2) I mac G3's one for sure needs a server serial number to access anew.

    I got into the computer today, with the option start, and got in deep enough to start grinding up the trash- it's a 'little guy' with 4.65 and 655 m's available on the server, and 1 G available of 4.55 on the Client. It's running ( Imac G3) on jaguar, and i did get (yesterday) to the fresh opening, allowing new administator!
    Now I get to show the boss the mac advantage!

    You should find a card (size like a cd jacket) with serial no. It should be put all together with an installation DVD and user manual etc.

  • OSX 10.2 Server serial number?

    Hi All,
    I hope there is an obvious answer for this. I bought four G4 xServers from a Japanese company that closed it's USA operations. When I booted them up I found they still contained data and user accounts in Japan. I received the complete pack of 10.2 Server install discs with them so I reformatted the drive and installed a new copy of 10.2.
    After reboot the assistant asks for the server software serial number from the CD envelope and gives an example of the format a-111-bbb-222-ccc-333-ccc-eee-f. The sticker on my CD envelope has numbers but nothing that states serial number and the format is not as above. Mine begins zx 122602 ...... I can't find a serial number anywhere else in the envelope.
    Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!
    - Tim

    This behavior sounds like it may be the wrong media type. Is it possible you have an internal CD and an install DVD? If this is the problem one possible solution is to image the DVD to an external hard drive and boot from that. It's much faster than optical as well.

  • OSX Server - Serial Number Expired

    Hi all, this morning I attempted to access 'Server Admin' via my iPad and found that it could not connect. I looked at the same application on the server and received an error regarding my XServe serial number (currently running 10.5.8) and that it had expired. The server seems to work perfectly, but Server Admin will not run.
    I'm not quite sure what has happened, but how do I re-enter the serial number without upsetting any of the existing configuration?
    Thankyou in advance

    Strange as I can do this on a Server that has the same error message as you? Perhaps because it's greyed out you don't realise that you can actually click inside the fields and make changes?
    Do you have port trunking enabled on the XServe? There was an issue some time back that caused this as I recall although I thought it was fixed in later 10.6 updates?

  • How do change Leopard Server Serial Number?

    I set up 2 servers with the same serial by accident (I set up 10 today, got confused) and want to replace the serial with the proper one.
    How can I do this without a re-install?

    Try the following at the shell:
    sudo /System/Library/ServerSetup/serversetup -setServerSerialNumber serialnumber watermarkinformation
    If you don't have a watermark with your serial number, don't enter that field.

  • Serial number is not getting updated in GR

    Problem: Serial number in not getting updated GR document (in stock) while going GR for production order.
    We are using u201CBAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATEu201D to do production order GR in one development. And we have used serial number profile in which we kept GR as optional. Please fine details of serial number profile as below. We have a restriction that we can not make GR mandatory in serial number profile.
    MMSL     Maintain goods receipt and issue doc.     02     02
    PPAU     Serial numbers in PP order     02     01
    PPRL     PP order release     04     01
    PPSF     Serial nos in repetitive manufacturing     03     01
    QMSL     Maintain inspection lot     02     01
    SDAU     Serial numbers in SD order     01     01
    SDCC     Completness check for delivery     02     01
    SDCR     Completion check IR delivery     02     01
    SDLS     Maintain delivery     02     01
    SDRE     Maintain returns delivery     02     02
    As we are passing serial number in BAPI while doing GR but still is not getting updated in GR document. When we check stock in MMBE, it is not showing any serial number.
    Please suggest solution.
    Thank you.

    Hi Chetan,
    Since your MMSL procedure is optional, you cannot carry assignment of Serial Numbers against goods Movement. Though you are passing serial numbers during GR, but Serial Numbers are linked only upto Production Order Level, not upto the Stock. The only option to display the Serial numbers against Stock can be done using MMSL procedure as 3. We also faced the similer situation, whenever ur doing automatic goods movement with MMSL as 02 [Auto GR], One possible solution, is to create a custom program to complete ur GR like using Call Transaction BDC -MB32, not as standard SAP Auto GR, & need to make MMSL as 3...so that both purpose gets served [ Serial number linking to stock & Automatic GR using custom program]
    Please share, if you get any better idea

    Naresh: I am sorry for the inconvenience.
    Naresh: Thank you for contacting Adobe.  We are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Goodbye!
    Any help would be appreciated.

    CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back.  So probably won't run on modern operating systems.  If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

  • My iPhone serial number and IMEI is not the same as Apple server

    Hello,
    My problem started when I want to unlock my iphone 3gs via Imei.
    My old iphone broke about a month after i bought it (it was 2 years ago), so i sent it to Movistar to change it (i think that they sent it to appleCare). Now Movistar told me that i have to send the old iphone imei in order to unlock the iphone i have now, i ask apple for the repair order receipt, then i received an email and i could see the information about the 2 iphones: the old broken one and the new one.
    Then I realized that the iphone they sent me as a replacement (the new one) is not the same iphone i have. The serial number and the Imei are different, so, should apple change this data in their server in order to unlock my iphone or what can i do to solve it?
    There is any formal way to perform this data change?
    Thank you in advance,
    Francisco Marzabal

    Here we work with repairs for devices that does not have waranty (expired or other issue). In this case, I did the screen replacement. No other ipad was on my station, the ipad arrives, i took it change the glass, put everithing back, give to customer. Thats it. The job was done by me, the customer test his ipad in front on me, works fine, everything ok. Few days pass and he came back saying that it wasn't his ipad, he brings the box that the ipad came and ask me why the serial number does not match the serial number in the box (sorry NOT in the back of the ipad).
    There were no other part changed only glass. After 7 years working on this, thats the first customer complaining about a work done here. After this I was curious and look for more information and some forums, also one port here is claiming that the serial number on the device is not the same as the box where it came.
    I just want to make sure that there are possibilities that there could be such mistake during the packaging process.
    Thanks for the replies
