Fixing HP Z2 Tower G4 Serial Number Issues: A Guide

Select Language:

If you’ve found yourself needing the original serial number for your HP Z2 Tower G4 Workstation but can’t locate it, don’t worry. There’s a straightforward way to get a custom serial number that works for you. Here’s how to do it.

First, if you come across a similar PC on eBay, you can use it as a reference to create your own serial number. Start with the letters “MXL,” which is common for many HP PCs.

Next, for the next three digits, use numbers. Since many of these PCs were manufactured in 2020, begin with “0” for the year. The week of manufacture can be any number from 01 to 52. You can choose any two-digit week number you like here.

Finally, the last four characters of your serial number can be a mix of numbers and letters. For example, if you find a listing that shows a serial number like “MXL0164RDH,” you don’t have to copy it exactly. Instead, perhaps change the week number from “16” to “26” or another number you prefer.

You’re also free to use the same product number, like “7UA13UC#ABA,” since many HP Z2 Tower G4 Workstations share this number. Alternatively, you can pick a product number from other similar workstations that have the same processor as yours.

Remember, while having a serial number can be useful, it’s not critically important since your PC is likely out of warranty. This means you have some flexibility in creating your custom serial number without worrying about any official issues.

So, the accepted solution? Use “MXL,” add “0” for the year 2020, select a week number from 01 to 52, then finish with four alphanumeric characters of your choice to create a unique serial number that fits your needs!
