Cause

Please notice that there are no standard validations to prevent duplicate Serial IDs for Registered Products when the Product is different. This is to fech multiple company scenarios that work with the same Serial ID for multiple Registered Products.

Resolution

Customer can create a custom solution (via SDK) to add aditional validations for the Serial ID.
