May I ask you why you need to read the serial number in BIOS.

Is it for software protect? But they can copy the BIOS with a EPROM
writer!! Moreover, If the client update the BIOS(flash ROM), May the
serial number change?

If you have some good idea in software protection. Would you please
tell me. [I like to know about how to protect software, but I have
nothing need to protect .... :~(  ]
