No.  A "standard" is to license by lpar number.  The OP is probably using 
those APIs to access the lpar number.  He's looking for something to show 
the customer that his API is not malfunctioning and that his lpar really 
does have a number of 2.
While some people may have system names like
SERIAL#1 where 1 is lpar 1
SERIAL#2 where 2 is lpar 2
and SERIAL# is the system serial number.  While a default, it is often not 
left that way.  I have 10 lpars and none of them use the system serial 
number for the system name.  See CHGNETA.  I run that before creating the 
first user profile.
I suspect the number of vendors using system name is small to negligible 
compared to those using lpar number or some other means.
