Sorry Anne, I wasn't implying anything with my quote, I was merely throwing it out there as supporting the reason that software vendors check serial numbers, catching implementation mistakes more often than nefarious intents... Especially in today's outsourced or skills deficient systems environments that seem to becoming more common as Charles noted.
I do recall in the past, setting our real CPU serial numbers in the VM images at a DR site, and at the time it seems like some software products were OK with it. Others were OK with the feigned serial number but complained about the CPU model number (I don't remember if the 'real' CPU model number showed through or it was something clever like x'FF') Dana On Thu, 15 Sep 2016 13:14:34 +0000, Adams, Anne (DTI) <anne.ad...@state.de.us> wrote: >I guess I’m not really explaining myself too well here.
