Brad,
A developer can access the hardware serial number using option code 0005 with the MI MATMATR instruction. Code 0004 will get the QSRLNBR value but 0005 can access the hardware serial number. We're taking a look at this and have a simple CLLE that retrieves the hardware serial number working already.

So, what stops them from running it on more than one at the same time?
Will there be any other static ID of partitions/logical partitions that the
customer can't change? Or will this be in addition to say, QSRLNBR or
using the QWCRSVAL API?

Jacob,
I got that part, but I'm wondering if a customer has two boxes, can they
run the same virtual serial number on each one?
Yes, they can... but not at the same time. If a partition has a VSN, the
unique way for it to run on another server than the current one, is to
move it with LPM (Live Partition Migration) or SRR (Simplified Remote
Restart). So, at any time, the partition will run on only one server.

Hello Rich and Michael,
No. I happened to screenshot the slides and reviewed them after the
presentation. They included that in the deck under the slide titled "VSN
Considerations".
"Can I share a VSN between multiple partitions? No. A VSN is unique to a
partition. If you want multiple partitions to share the same serial
number,
you will have to use the base (physical) hardware serial number."
