That seems to me as some backward (pronounce: awkward) compatibility of
M$ Volume ID. Volume ID in M$ windows is (as you say) 'xxxx-xxxx' two
16 bit hexadecimal numbers. And all programs I tested report the number
this way. So if we want user to enter these numbers manually we should
ignore the remaining four bits. Alternatively we can provide utility that
prints out whole serial number.
