| Sometimes abbreviated as sn or s/n, a serial number is a unique number used for identification and inventory purposes. A serial number allows a company to identify a product easily to get additional information about it, for replacement, or as a means of finding compatible parts. Below is an example of what a serial number may look like on the back of a computer. S/N: 20000345 Model: Fake Locating serial numbers: Hardware - A serial number for a hardware device such as a computer or printer can almost always be found on the bottom or back of the device. Software - Software serial numbers, also known as product identification numbers and CD-KEYs, are included with the packaging that the software was included in and/or on the case the CD is stored in.
- If you're looking for additional information about your product based off the serial number or cannot find or locate your serial number, contact the manufacturer or developer of your hardware or software program.
