Change Machine Serial Number

Is there anyway to change the "serial number" returned by the below command?

We have a server we would like to P2V, but there is software on it that relies on the "SerialNumber" for licensing.

Hi,

I suggest that check this KB: VMware KB: Changing or keeping a UUID for a moved virtual machine and convert your server to virtual server, applying the physical server UUID on virtual server, check your software and its license.
