Odd licensing problem

[GCC Consulting]

I just installed a new HP Server with Windows server 2008.  It has a 5 disk
raid array with one hot spare.

When I initially got the license I wanted to tie it to the array volume
serial # 7E66-1AF5.  After the download and install  of this license, the
license manager would not start.  I checked the log file and found that the
serial number was being read as 7E991AF5.

Does anyone have any idea why the 66 would be read as 99?

With fpsupport's patients and prompt help, chose to tie the license into the
servers NIC card mac address and everything worked properly.
