Hey everyone, I just got a 8700g yesterday and I've been trying to figure out how to sync it to my MacBook Pro. I've installed the free version of PocketMac for intel but when I hook up my berry to the computer, a window pops up saying I need to "register my blackberry software" and then proceeds to ask me for a SERIAL NUMBER.

Can anyone explain to me why I'm getting this window? I thought PocketMac was now free? Or where can I find one of these Serial Numbers? I have a feeling this is a really obvious question but I've read all the threads and I didn't see an answer. Thanks!

You should have received and email from PocketMac with an SN after your DL, do you have a SPAM filter running?

You can also get a serial number by visiting pocketmac's website and signing up to download pocketmac again. I just did this, entered fake contact information and the serial number was displayed in the "order confirmation"... right before you would normally click on "download now". No email required.

thanks for both your help, i guess i originally downloaded from a weird site that didn't give me a sn.

I have downloaded the pocket mac software from the pocketmac site in order to sync my balckberry with entourage.

I need to get a serial number for my blackberry software and have followed your advice from previous posts. I cannot get a serial number anywhere.

How do I go about getting one??

I found that you get a serial number only when you download the original version, not the update for intel duo macs.
