I can't decide if you are serious or not, but assuming you are.

First, there is no such thing as a "shareware" version of FreeBSD.  
It is free.  And free is all there is.

Secondly, even more emphatically there is no such thing as a commercial 
version of FreeBSD.   There is only the free FreeBSD.   Some companies
put out a CD set and charge for that service, but you can also download 
the same thing for free from the FreeBSD web site or one of its many mirrors.

Third, there is no such thing as a FreeBSD serial number to record
or register.  It is up to you to keep up to date on fixes, patches
and new releases and no one is gong to chase you down and make sure
you haven't installed it on any unregistered machines.

Fourth, FreeBSD is an excellent operating system.  I have no idea
what you have acquired, but maybe it is either not really FreeBSD 
or you don't have any idea of what you are doing.

Fifth, if you know enough to have acquired FreeBSD and installed it
to check it out and/or enough to have posted your message to this
FreeBSD-questions Email list, you already should know enough to 
check out the FreeBSD web site at:  http://www.freebsd.org/  and
already know items first through fourth above and so I wonder why 
you are posting such a message in the first place.  It is not 
even April 1.
