    How can one tell?

    Write a program to query it:

    Thanks. I wouldn't attempt to try to do that.

    If you want to view it along with other 'stuff', in the CLI:

    system_profiler SPHardwareDataType

    That worked perfectly! :-D

    Thank you for the guidance.

    If you want just the UUID number for some reason, pipe that to awk by adding:

    | awk '/UUID/ {print $3}'

    I see:-

    zsh: parse error near `|'

    You'll no doubt know what's wrong!

    Understood.

    What I would *LIKE* to know is just what happens if *YOU* download and
    install the "Free Trial" available here:- www.clamXAV.com

    Can you, actually, enjoy 30 days of 'safety' without paying for it?!!
