Mine is very different, and totally legitimate. The sticker on the
bottom of my laptop is for the Operating System dvd that was supplied
with my laptop at the time of purchase. The Magic Jellybean Finder
returns the number of the factory image that Compaq used when they
installed the original software. The two numbers are different. My
wife has an identical machine as mine, purchased at the same time, and
her sticker is different than mine, but Magic Jellybean returns the
same number on hers as it does mine... both are the number of the
image used to install the software.
