Or it is a prototype machine from Apple that was never a real production
machine but that got out into the wild somehow. When I worked there, all
the prototype machines used to have their serial # (and other firmware
info) missing.

This is a G5 machine, so it must be new enough. Maybe it has been in for
repairs. Thanks for the tip!

Hi All.
I am working on a software licensing system that keys itself to the
serial # of a particular machine. This has been working fine, except
we bumped into a machine with no serial #. It even shows as a blank
on Apple System Profiler. Has anybody bumped into this, or know the
reason why a machine might have no serial #?
Thanks!

Two possible reasons I know of, there might be more!
- The mainboard has been replaced, but someone forgot to 'burn' a
serial number into it. (Seen that a few times)
- The machine is too old (meaning before the first G3 machines,
probably not an issue any more)
