without quotes around the serial number and saved it. When I start the VM and look at About This Mac the serial number still shows up as the one that was originally configured for the VM. Is there additional steps to update the Serial number on a MacOS VM?

Note. These steps only apply to macOS virtual machines running on Intel-powered Mac computers. Changing a serial of a macOS virtual machine on a Mac with Apple M1 chip is currently not possible. More information on the current limitations of macOS virtual machines on Mac computers with Apple M1 Chip is available in KB 128867.
Go to virtual machine configuration > Hardware > Boot Order > Advanced settings > in Boot flags field paste the flag below alongside with a new serial number next:
The solution is to determine the serial number of the real Mac by opening About This Mac or running System Information. It is an alphanumeric string. On my Mac Pro 5,1 it begins with a letter and is 11 characters long.
I had the same problem and got it solved after following a tutorial (The link is off Youtube now) that uses the clover bootloader. Unfortunately there's a catch. You have to go through the bootloader process (pressing F12 and select OS launch button) every time you start up the machine. If you don't follow that you get serial number 0. I don't mind this as I don't restart the guest unless absolutely necessary.
I was recently reading some other posts where it was reported that the serial changed when they replaced their hard-drive. Could this be possible? Is it possible that the serial is a combination of hardware serial numbers? Can anyone confirm this? Or is it just a number assigned to a motherboard NVRAM?
When I got my MacBook back, some silly repair-centre person had left a CD in the drive called "SetSysSerSum-3T100". The readme file shows it is a utility that when booted into, allows you to, easily with a GUI, change the serial number of any intel mac!
I'm new to macs (so don't start kickin'), and I am just wondering what would be the consequences of using the program posted. I mean, wouldn't I have to change anything else (such as the airport serial, mac adress, even some other hardware...) or this prog just changes the serial and everything else remains the same. Has anybody tried it? Is it working and how?
Does anyone know if this dmg will still change the serial number on the newest macbook pro's ? The one's with the 2.4 ghz processor? I have a 17 inch model and when I press and hold the D key when booting, it will not boot from the cd. I've tried putting in other bootable cd's and holding ALT/option and that cd shows up (bootable Leopard install disc). I also want to mention that I had an older version Macbook Pro (2.33ghz) and it ran the cd just fine and I was able to change the SN. I'm just kind of wondering if it's a hardware issue, or firmware....and if anyone else has had any luck changing a serial number on the newest macbook pros. Thanks!
The point of this image is to change the serial number of a Mac computer.. If you don't have a mac, there isn't any point in changing it...The serial number is stored in NV ram on mac's.... so this wouldn't apply to you..
Intune needs to know the VM's hardware model and serial number to recognize and enroll it as a device. If you try to enroll a VM without providing those details, enrollment fails. This section provides more information about how to satisfy this requirement before enrollment.
Modify the VM's configuration settings to add or change a VM serial number and hardware model identifier. Enter any string of alphanumeric characters for the serial number. For hardware model, we recommend using the model of the device that's running the VM. To find your Mac's hardware model, select the Apple menu and go to About This Mac > System Report > Model Identifier.

No changes are required for virtual machines running on Apple Silicon hardware. Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion are supported on Macs with Apple Silicon, so if you set up a VM this way, you don't need to modify the hardware model ID or serial number.
Currently, the serial number of Apple products use a format that can provide more information about the device. The existing string can be used to work out when and where a device was produced, as well as configuration codes that reveal the model and storage capacity of the device.
In a change to that structure, Apple will be switching over to a new serial number format that consists of a random alphanumeric string between 8 characters and 14 character in length. The internal AppleCare email seen by MacRumors explains it will be scheduled for introduction in "early 2021," and will initially use serial numbers that are 10 digits in length.
There was an interesting question that was asked the other day about changing the hardware serial number for an Apple Mac OS X guest as the generated serial number is not compatible with services such as Apple Caching Service or iMessage. I recall seeing this question get asked awhile back, but I could not immediately find the answer but thanks to Darius Davis (VMware Engineer) who provided the quick answer.
As mentioned by Darius, if you are running Mac OS X VM prior to 10.9 (Mavericks) you will need to add the following advanced VM setting by first powering it off and then add the above setting. There are two recommended ways of performing this change using either the vSphere C# Client or vSphere Web Client and instructions are listed below.
Once you have added the advanced setting, you can now power back on your Mac OS X VM and when you click on the "About this Mac" option on the upper left hand side of the Apple icon you should see the Mac OS X version string. Click on the version string twice and you should now see the serial number that is generated which should not be longer than 12 characters.
The Catalyst 4000 with Supervisor Engine I chassis serial number on the Catalyst 4003, 2948G, and 2980G is not readable through a CLI command. The serial number that appears in the show version command output in the example in this section is the serial number of the Supervisor Engine. The actual serial number appears on a sticker on the outside of the chassis.
On the Catalyst 4500/4000 Supervisor 2, the chassis serial number is available via CLI in versions 5.5(10), 6.3(2), and later versions. In earlier versions, theshow versioncommand shows the Supervisor Engine serial number in the place of the chassis serial number. To obtain the serial number of the chassis in these earlier versions, check the external sticker on the chassis.
Use theshow versioncommand to determine the chassis serial number and switch model type, as the example here shows. You find all switch stack members, chassis, and serial number information in the output:
Note: For single-user subscriptions, you can usually sign in so that a serial number is not required. You may see a Stand-alone license type for 2017-2019 products, but a User License type for 2020 and later product versions.
Note: Enabling this setting resets the computer's name to the name that is specified in the inventory record. If a policy submits inventory prior to running this policy, the name will change back to what the computer is currently set to.
Changing the AirPods Pro ear tips out is a bit different from standard wireless earbuds, because the silicone sleeves snap into a collar at the base of each earbud nozzle. You can read all about how to change AirPods Pro ear tips in our step-by-step explainer.
You can change the serial number of an existing Site Configuration of appliances configured as stand-alones or as a High Availability cluster. Changing the serial number is necessary in case of a return merchandise authorization (RMA) when an appliance has been replaced.
To re-use an appliance (for example, the one with the serial number you just removed), you must first perform a factory reset. For more information, see How to Recover a CloudGen WAN Hardware Appliance with a USB Flash Drive.
This means that Apple has the coarse location track log (due to GeoIP of the client IP) for every M1 serial number. When you open the App Store app, that serial number is also sent and associated with your Apple ID (email/phone) if you log in.

The email is case sensitive.Provided license information is ALWAYS correct.Please save your time by double checking email and serial number.Please note that aText version 3 for macOS does not accept license of aText version 2 for macOS.
Please enter your existing Rumpus serial number to determine if your license qualifies for a free upgrade or if a paid upgrade is required. You can find your serial number on the "About Rumpus" box (Mac) or by checking the Network Settings window, Validation tab (Windows).
Your upgrade path can most easily be determined using your Rumpus serial number. All serial numbers begin either "RP-", (Rumpus Standard for Mac), "RW-", (Rumpus Standard for Win), "RR-" (Rumpus Pro for Mac) or "RX-" (Rumpus Pro for Win). Your serial number is included in your original registration e-mail. In Rumpus for Mac it is displayed on the "About Rumpus" box in the Rumpus application. In Rumpus for Windows, your serial number is displayed on the Network Settings window, Validation tab. 2ff7e9595c
