Hi Debu,

The Product ID and Serial number of the Prime Infrastructure product can be found by
logging into the User Interface and visiting the Administration > Licenses Page 
and the summaryscreen will have the information you seek.

If you have not deployed PI yet, then you have to do this first to get the information to
fulfill the licensing.
