2008-2019 - Serial Numbers with Date
Our serials are the first to have a regular pattern. Each device's serial number is broken down into sections.
Example for an SL MKIII 61 "D598263000001":
- D5 = Unique Product ID
- 8 = Year (2018)
- 263 = Day of Year
- 000001 = Unique Number
All SKUs refer to base version- regional SKUs may exist (such as MOSC0003UKEU), in addition to 'DM' SKUs for B-Stock condition units (MOSC0003DM).
2019 Onwards - Unique Product Numbers (UPNs)
Starting in 2019, a new format has been introduced which starts to use Hexadecimal. The date of manufacture can be identified with the 8th (Year) and 9th (month) character.
Example for Launchkey 37 MK3: "K300000160001:
- K3 = Unique Product ID
- 1 = Year (2021)
- 6 = Month (June)
- 0001 = Unique number
Using Hexadecimal means that A represents October, B for November, C for December.
