No, this
isn't the same.  These are licenses, not locks. 
 No argument from me.  I've been checking the document
 archives and I used to know this, but how do you display
 the system ID?  There was a GetSYI parameter or some
 such...  I imagine the number can be displayed from the
 console as well without an OS booted or even present.
 And...  is this a number that Encompass will accept? 
 
Do you mean the hardware ID?  If so, either enter the serial
number or you can make one up.
