Note: In early 2019 we went to a 7 digit naming scheme to include the 3rd and 4th digit of the current year. Because of this you may encounter some GB#'s that are only 6 digits and that is because they are pre-2019.
Note: If you have a recycled PC or Mac your GB#/SHB#/MNT#/MAN# may be any of the Device ID classifications as these devices are roll downs from their initial purpose.
