Q: How to serialize Mac mini

After a thunderstorm some years ago I lost function of iMessage and FaceTime on my Mac mini 2011, and I also lost showing the serial number in About this Mac. Everything else runs fine. After a lot of investigation I understand that the missing serial number is crucial for the functionality of those applications. Like a lot of other persons with the same problem I have tried to log on and got the answer that I am not connected to Internet, which I in fact is!

 

I have not changed motherboard or anything else but RAM (many years ago) in my Mac.

I bought my Mac mini from Apple 2011, I have the receipt and the serial number, I run MacOS 10.11.6.

 

I also understand that serialization is a rather quick and easy task to do, but ...

... how do I do it?

 

2 GHz Intel Core i7; 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3; Serial #: not available
