How to Properly Enter the Serial Number

When obtaining the EMEI number, you will notice that the typical 15-digit number is broken into groups and contains spaces between the numbers.

It is essential that when entering the serial number in the Equipment section, you do NOT include spaces:

Remove all spaces when entering the Device ID in the Serial Number Field:

NOTE: The serial number can sometimes contain upper and lower case letters.  Whenever upper or lower cases are included, they MUST be entered in the equipment section just as they appear on the device.
