My main comment is you should not use the serial number to identify the account. The user should be able to disassociate his unit from his account by merely doing a factory reset (for example, if he wants to sell the box). Section 9 of the Developer's Guide discusses this:

This is not possible if you have saved permanent serial number information on your servers.
