Locating Your Product Serial Number

Use one of these methods to find your computer’s serial number:

the words “Mac OS X.” Clicking cycles between the Mac OS X version number, the

build version, and the serial number.

 Open System Profiler (in /Applications/Utilities/) and click Hardware. You can also

open System Profiler by clicking the More Info button in the About This Mac dialog.

 Remove the battery and view the serial number for your MacBook Pro in the battery

bay. For information about removing the battery, see “Removing the Battery” on

page 82.
