The script retrieves the local hardware serial number (WMI on Windows, system_profiler on macOS) and the last logged-in username (registry on Windows, loginwindow plist on macOS), combines them into a SERIALNUMBER | lastusername string, Base64-encodes the result, and sets it as the device alias via ClientTool takeover. The Partner UID can be supplied directly via -PartnerUID or auto-discovered from existing ClientTool log files. If no UID is found, the script exits with a descriptive error.
