Check label colour, should be more graphite, than black; and matte, not glossy - similar to the others.
Some machines you can buy 2nd hand, are sold without SN on the frame (sometimes fake, but matching the rest), with fake serial number and fake label on the back.
These machines come from KM contracts, and had been resold to third parties for scrapping.
However some scrappers break the agreement with Konica Minolta and re-market these machines with changed numbers, so that KM cannot easily identify the source.
In such case, you can't install i-Option licence.
Possible solution:
- you can check if there is original SN stored in upper EEPROM on PRCB (EEPROM DIP8 93C86, SN stored in reverse order, between 0x59A-0x5A6)
- the second place, you can take a look for SN is service chip under HV board (EEPROM 93C46, reverse order, between 0x70-0x7C)
- set original SN back in service mode, then ask (beg rather) politely someone with service manager account in LMS to generate initialization code for your original SN
* in your case, you can't use "alternative initialization code" that can be found on this forum, because it will not generate valid encryption keys for LMS
In case you can't extract original serial number, it's rather hopeless. In theory you could use any valid SN from above, but it's illegal.
