OpenVMS Hobbyist License Question

The serial number doesn't actually matter. Lazy people get a single
hobbiest license, and install it on all their VAXen. I'm slightly
concerned they will come after me if I get a separate license for
each machine! (2-uVAX II's,uVAX III,VS2000,11-3100's,11/750,11/780!)

I wonder if you could use the serial number field on the form for
a 'choosen plaintext' attack on the checksum generator?/\
