Serial number in PrusaConnect incorrect

I just got off the chat with Prusa support on an issue with my XL. They asked me for my serial number, so with my printer against a wall and the serial number on the back I thought, hey, let's just grab it from PrusaConnect. Alas, it turned out the serial number showing in PrusaConnect has no resemblance to the one on the printer's sticker ☹️

The serial number format showing in Prusa Connect is totally different from the format on the label so it's not simply a matter of a wrong number. The Prusa rep immediately said that's not a serial number.

Thanks for the heads up.  When mine arrives I will photograph the back before installing - it's going to be too heavy for casual manhandling.

Cheerio,

Great idea! Most of the time I spent on the chat was me trying to get a phone behind the printer to take a picture of the serial number...

No. The API key is further down on the page.

Yep, they separated the printer S/N from the motherboard one. It's good because when you get a new mobo, the printer S/N stays the same. But yea, that means we cannot get the printer S/N easily

That makes sense. But maybe the text in PrusaConnect should be changed to "Motherboard S/N", to keep others from being as confused as I was.
