Indeed, on repair, the computer should have the old serial number.
This is why it is also located on the case, exact location depends on
the model. The only time there should ever be a new serial number is
when a Mac is outright replaced. Definitely, it is a bad idea to
depend on the serial number at all for software. MAC addresses are
not entirely difficult to spoof either. The best case is to either
have users register the product, the Microsoft way, or simply accept
that a certain level of piracy is inevitable with desirable software.
