Does anyone know of a way to determine the serial number via unix commands ?

We have a high number of  SCO's on remote sites , if
I could get the serial number without asking someone
to look on the front of the box it would be useful.

Depending on what SCO OS you're running and what version "uname -X' works
on OpenServer 5.0.5.

Not necessarily.

uname -X displays the serial number used for the installation which
may or may not be the current serial number. The License Manager
gives the real numbers.

How could they differ? Or are you referring to ALL serial numbers (ie user
licenses, development, SMP and such).

They will differ if you, for example, loaded the system with serial #
DEM000000, then realized you had the wrong license, went into License
Manager, removed that license, added serial # DJG000000, and rebooted.
uname -X shows DEM000000 (the original), License Manager shows
DJG000000. (Have this scenario on my in-house development box right
now!)

Better to use the methods outlined in the URL on Tony's site (see Jim
Bonnet's response)

Sorry, but I don't find the SCO license number, but the identification
number of the system or of the hard disk.

Have you an idea ???

Don.
