PSO serial question

Hi everyone! Long time Dreamcast owner, only recently have I acquired a DreamPi and (soon) GDEMU setup. Looking to
FINALLY play PSO online. I have a version 1 disc with a serial that I registered on my original (VA2) Dreamcast. I recently purchased a VA1 console so I could use GDEMU. I logged into Slyverant's server once on my PSO version 1 copy on my VA2 console. Wondering if I can re-register that serial on my VA1 console without any issues? I seem to remember something about possibly getting banned if people serial numbers on more than one console.
Additionally, I'd also like to acquire a copy of PSO version 2 secondhand so I have another serial number for that game. I assume unless someone has already used that serial on the Slyverant servers that I'm okay there?
I appreciate all the help and look forward to seeing some of you online!

I've three Dreamcasts with my v2 SNAK. You're good
A shared/generated SNAK you won't be able to register in Sylverant to participate in kill events and earn more goods

Thank you guys! Sounds like I still want to get a real SNAK. I’ll get a copy of v2 and get that registered. Much appreciated!

PSO Tool GUI apparently works but with a risk of registering a duplicate? Generate another? I remember PSOv2 new old stock just for a dub $20 alas I don't know what it is now
If you seek a used get confirmation from seller that the SNAK lies beneath the disc and is legible, n if that's been registered you can show BlueCrab AKA Sylverant its in your possession and he adjusts accordingly

you are wrong mistamontiel about the PSO Tool GUI and you clearly understand nothing about the program.

Unfortunately used copies are around $70 on eBay today, but hey, that comes with the territory of owning a console that was only in production for a 2-3 years that's now 25 years old. At least it's cheaper than what my copy of Sonic Adventure 2 goes for nowadays ($250

).

Damn yeh try that application not that I said not to jus I wasn't aware price spiked
Ives' CDI (psopalace) fixes filesort too and autoconnects so it does wonders for your laser as opposed to the genuine GD that wreaks chaos with alpha sort
Clap back y'know who you are!
