My DHS products have 22 digits serial code instead of 12 or 16?

Yes, I got it
Well, obviously DHS is trying to minimize frauds and the system will work the way you describe it.
But imagine that one buys a genuine Long 5 blade and transfers the sticker to a fake blade even without checking the code /why to check it?/, thus refunding a great portion of the investment - is it possible? Other funny scenarios - sveral fake Long 5 with fake stickers, but one and the same genuine number, one sells them as second hand, people ask him /eventually/ why it has been checked several times - "yes, I've checked it several times and its always genuine!"

I think that if you want a new product, you should buy it from a trusted seller, if you buy a second hand - pay attention to some product specifics, rather than stickers and numbers. Though its just mine personal opinion only, nothing to offense, just my way.

Your method would work only in theory, but not in practice. A counterfeiter would not be stupid enough to do it this way. The whole point of counterfeiting a Long 5 blade is to make money. If a counterfeiter has to buy a genuine Long 5 blade and use its authentication code to sell a fake one, how does he/she make money? And more importantly, what does he/she do with the genuine Long 5 blade without its authentication code? Regular people will definitely check the code as soon as they buy the blade. So it's not like counterfeiter can just go around collecting unused Long 5 authentication codes from regular people who buy the blade.

Hi,
I bought a DHS Hurrican3 Neo 37H (Yet to arrive from Ali)
If I would type the security code into the search engine , as above, will it confirm that it is a genuine 37H or will it simply confirm that i bought a Hurricane 3 ???
