Serial-info

Serial-info is a tiny and portable program that shows detailed information about Bitzer compressors. It features two GUI languages and no complicated options, so it can be tackled with ease.

No installation necessary

Since there's no setup pack involved, you can copy the downloaded executable file to a custom location on the HDD and just double-click it to launch the utility. There's also the option to keep it stored on a USB flash drive to directly run it on any machine without previous setup.
No changes are made to the Windows registry in this regard. Plus, it doesn't need any DLLs to run and doesn't create other files on the HDD without your approval.

Simple GUI for viewing Bitzer compressor data

When it comes to the GUI, the utility sticks to a standard window with a well-structured layout, where all you have to do is enter the serial number of a Bitzer compressor to analyze the acquired information.
Data is computed in real time, as you are typing the serial number. It's possible to find out the country, city, manufacturer, year and month of manufacture, along with the order number and valid code date.
Although Serial-info doesn't implement buttons for exporting these details to file, it's possible to copy selected text or to print everything. If you have a virtual PDF printer installed, you can generate a PDF file from all info displayed.

Evaluation and conclusion

The GUI is available in English and Russian. We haven't come across any difficulties in our testing, since the application didn't freeze, crash or indicate errors. Although it contains just a few basic options, Serial-info delivers a simple solution for learning info about purchased Bitzer compressors. In addition, it's free to use.
