Hi Leo,
you can download the Barco ICMP/Alchemy certificates from the unit itself with Communicator, or through a web-service from a Barco Server, based on the ICMP serial. Also, there should be a QR-code on your ICMPs faceplate which leads you to the certificate download link.
Other than that:

(This seems to suggest the above listed MAC-type serial is indeed the scheme for the Christie IMS)

Wondering if Brad would copy these files into the manuals warehouse?

Hi,
I know this is an old post of mine but I'd like to update anyway.
The certs that start with QCPD in their serial numbers are from a brand called QUBE. They are still used in some cinemas, abroad, in the Philippines they have all been replaced by GDC.
Their FTP site is at ftp://certificates.qubecinema.com
For GDC, I e-mail a request to cert@gdc-tech.com
For Barco, I request a picture of the QR code on the server so I can download it myself (lol)
I still have problems with Christie because most projectionists don't know how to extract their certs from the server. If anyone has access, can you please post it here? (link)
Thanks!

What Christie says in the IMB-S2 changing bulletin is:
If the distributor requests the 12-digit hexadecimal eSN of the Christie IMB-S2, use one of these
methods to retrieve it:
• On the projector touch panel controller (TPC), tap Menu > Christie IMB-S2 > System > Status
. Tap System in the Category list. The serial number appears in the SM Serial Number (eSN) field.
• On older Christie IMB-S2s the 12-digit eSN is on the back of the Christie IMB-S2 faceplate.
• On newer Christie IMB-S2s the 12-digit eSN is on the front of the Christie IMB-S2 faceplate, or
on the communications panel faceplate of Solaria One and Solaria One+ projectors.
• Look for the eSN on the shipping carton. If the distributor requests the SM certificate that is necessary to generate the KDM:
1. Insert a USB flash drive in the USB port on the side of the projector.
2. Tap Menu > Christie IMB-S2 > System.
3. Tap General > Settings.
4. Tap Certificate.
5. Tap SM.
6. Tap Download.
The certificate is saved as SM.pem
It also states:
Current certificate information is available on the Christie FTP site (certificates.christiedigital.com). If your distributor cannot access the Christie FTP site, ask them to contact Christie technical support.
If I was you, I would sent an e-mail to tech-asia@christiedigital.com

The current test version of DCP-o-matic offers a certificate download option for christie certificates - however, you need to enter personal account information to access the Christie database. These are, however, circulating, and you may also apply for an account with Christie support.

Adding a little reference in case it helps somebody in the future, this is what I have learned so far about serial numbers and certificates:
Pre-Doremi Dolby:
Has two formats: H####### for CAT 745 or 51#### 52#### 61#### 62#### for CAT 862. If you get a serial starting with D####### 50#### or 60#### the room wrongly sent you the media server serial not the media block's. This is common in Dolby that makes it easier to find the media server's serial than the media block's.
Certs can be directly downloaded from: http://www.dolbycustomer.com/cinema/Certificates
Doremi pre and post Dolby:
They are 6 decimal digits, normally starting with 2 or 3: 2##### or 3##### sometimes a MB will have an adendum of two digits at the end with a dash, for example: 2#####-01 if you get a serial with a D at the end, like this 2#####D do not use/put the D on the download. the IMB-2000 which seems to probably have been developed by Doremi but is now sold by Dolby still follows this numbering format.
Can be donwloaded from the same site: http://www.dolbycustomer.com/cinema/Certificates
GDC:
Their certificates start with A and then 5 decimal digits: A#####
You request them via email at cert@gdc-tech.com
Christie:
They're 12 hexadecimal characters (0-9 and A-f): xxxxxxxxxxxx
You need to contact Christie support to gain access to their ftp.
Qube:
I've not had experience with them, but more knowledgeable people here in this thread has already given the access info for them. There's an open ftp for accessing them.
Barco:
They use a 10 digit decimal serial: ########## seemingly their media blcoks are made by GDC but Barco manages the certificates. Each certificate can be found online at a specific url. This url is printed in a QR barcode sticker on the projector, ask the room to send you a photo by whatsapp and send the picture to a QR Barcode reader app to get the url. It's unique per projector not a central repository afaik.
Sony:
I've found out that the serial format for the XCT-M10 is 7 decimal digits #######
I'm still trying to find out what the right address to contact for requesting certificates is. Sorry.
Edited to add:
Nec:
Nec's media blocks are made by Doremi/Dolby. They follow the 6 digit decimal notation of Doremi, and their certificates can be equally downloaded at the Dolby page.
