What is the serial number installed on my Mac?

I have a client with 20 copies of Mac CS4 and they are running an internal audit to make sure they own every copy installed.  Where can I see a partial reference to what number is installed on every Mac?  Years ago it used to be on the spash screen - gone... Where is it hiding?

I guess we're stuck - I have client that is very strict about licenses and someone there bought 20 CS4's (boxes, not a site-license) so, now if someone didn't bother to mark the serial number on the Mac with a Sharpie, the only way I will know if that serial number is used, is if I install it on a Mac and open all the copies of PhotoShop (or whatever) on the 19 other Macs and see if I get a "that serial number is already in use" message... right?  Ooops, Adobe, not nice to make things hard on the _honest_ clients.

  • What is the recommended number of clients per Mac server? Also what are some recommended specs when purchasing an Apple machine that will have Mac OS X server installed?

    What is the recommended number of clients per Mac server? Also what are some recommended specs when purchasing an Apple machine that will have Mac OS X server installed? We have around 300 clients that need to be enroled on the Mac server. I want to know what is the recommended amount of clients a Mac server should contain. Also what are some recommended specs to make sure the server will flawlessly?

    Hello cpreasbeck,
    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
    I was able to find the following transition guide for Xserve that provides some workload guidance to determine performance when planning a server deployment.
    Transition Guide Xserve
    http://images.apple.com/xserve/pdf/L422277A_Xserve_Guide.pdf
    On page 9, Performance there is a chart that provides maximum numbers of connected users for various activities such as file sharing, mail, web, calendar, directory services and Time Machine and the CPU used as a server (Xserve, Mac Pro, Mac Mini). This information is a bit dated as the referenced software is Snow Leopard Server (OS X 10.6), and the hardware is older also, but it should give you a general idea of what you might need to look for.
    Regards,

    Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
    Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

  • What is the serial number that I need to install this new photoshop product I just bought?

    I need help. I purchased a new Adobe photoshop elements 11 from Best Buy and I have all the boxes. I try and install this using the numbers on the back of the inner liner but it keeps saying invalid serial number go back and try again. What am I doing wrong???? JIM

    When I bought PSE11 at Best Buy, I think that number on the back of the box (a boxid lets call it) is something that has to be entered into a website to get the serial number.  The instructions, Including any website, should all be there if you have all what was in the box. 
    Best Buy transmits what boxids have been sold in real-time to Adobe from the cash-register, and Adobe checks the boxid you enter into the website with the list of actual sold boxes they’ve gotten from Best Buy, before they will issue the serial number.
