Introduction
In TitanOSX, I use the serial number of the device as a unique key/index. This is because there should always be a unique serial number. Part of the reason is, just like a MAC address or Zip Code, each segment of the number represents something specific.

Since the response is simply XML, you can easily adapt this to any language you need. Just remember that you need the LAST 4 of the serial only, otherwise you'll get thrown an error.
