Compare the software-displayed serial number to the one printed under the battery. Are they the same?

mine don't match -- but I don't qualify either... 🙁

This seems to be a common enough problem.

I doubt a Mac Pro on October 6, and neither registration nor the "up to date" program will recognize my serial number.

I called Apple, and they try their best to get rid of me and not fix the problem.

I want to order Leopard, and instead of fixing the issue, Apple says to just use the mail-in form.

That's fine for ordering Leopard, but that doesn't fix the problem. It affects registration, and who knows what else.

I can just see it now: a few months from now my Mac dies and I got to get warranty service and they'll claim I never registered.

(grumble)
