Comment(by hamiltonchua):

 Martin,

 About My Computer says :

 Build : SoaS release 1 (Strawberry)
 Sugar : 0.84.2

 Both commands do not return anything on my setup. I have patched my build
 to register with SoaS from #916. Note that the final patch does not store
 that info in gconf, it now stores it in /home/liveuser/.sugar/,
 specifically ...

 /home/liveuser/.sugar/identifiers/backup_url
 /home/liveuser/.sugar/identifiers/sn
 /home/liveuser/.sugar/identifiers/uuid

 I use the following def to extract the data ...

 {{{
 def get_identifier_info(info):
   identifier_dir = os.path.expanduser('~') +
 '/.sugar/default/identifiers/'
   fh = open(os.path.join(identifier_dir, info),'r')
   data = fh.read().rstrip('\0\n')
   fh.close()
   return data
 }}}

 I use it like this

 {{{
 backup_url = get_identifier_info('backup_url')
 uid = get_identifier_info('uid')
 sn = get_identifier_info('sn')
 }}}
