Troubleshooting an Invalid Serial Number After Configuring SMBIOS

It seems that you are experiencing an issue with an invalid serial number after making changes to your SMBIOS. Here are a few things to consider:
  1. Apple ID Functionality: If your Apple ID is working fine, it's possible that the invalid serial number may not be causing any immediate issues. However, it's important to note that using an invalid serial number is not recommended and may lead to unforeseen problems in the future.
  2. Validity of the Serial Number: It's essential to ensure that the serial number you've generated is valid. You can use tools like MacSerial to generate your SMBIOS and then check the validity of the generated serial number on the Apple Support website.
  3. Potential Future Issues: While your Apple ID may currently work, using an invalid serial number can lead to various issues, such as challenges with software updates, iServices, and other Apple services. It's advisable to use a valid serial number to avoid these potential complications.
  4. Community Assistance: If you're still unable to resolve the issue, consider seeking help from the iATKOS Project community or other forums where users share their experiences and solutions for similar issues.
In summary, while your Apple ID may be functioning properly, it's important to ensure that you are using a valid serial number to avoid potential issues with software updates, iServices, and other Apple services. If you continue to experience difficulties, seeking assistance from the community or Apple Support may be beneficial.


i think i configured my smbios wrong, because my serial number isnt valid

i made a new serial number while fixing iservices, replaced the rom with my real mac address and the systemuuid with the uuidgen one (not gensmbios).

my serial number still isnt valid but apple id works fine. do i need to do anything?
