There should be a 5-1/2 by 8-1/2 pink or goldenrod card with the media. I may be able to dig out a valid serial number and activation key. I suppose it would be for historical purposes only.
Do you need 3-1/2 or 5-1/4 media?
If it is 5-1/4 do you have a diskette drive?
To the best of my knowledge, the activation key is not saved anywhere on the disk by the installation procedure.
I checked all books and disk sleeves but I didn't find any card with the serial number or the activation key. The strange thing is that serial number begin with "oli", I think of a branded version for Olivetti.
I read that R3.2 V4.2 saves the activation key in a file but in my installed R3.2 V4.0 that file is missing. Perhaps V4.0 saves the key elsewhere.
My purpose is only educational. I'm a sysadmin and a collector of vintage systems, I like to study how computers and O.S. evolved.
My media is 3-1/2.
Another question if you know: was SCO System V/386 able to use TCP/IP ?
I found in the machine a strange card that I didn't recognize, with a connector like AUI but different...

They threw out versions with serial numbers that indicated where they were intended for, hardware manufacturers for some and distributors for some.
I remember that there was a program to rebrand a system with the proper s/n and a/c but didn't have any need to use it. That would probably lead to the file you are thinking of.
There was a TCPIP add on for at least 4.2 but I never had need to try it.
