Remember that the serial number is unique to the device (it's the way
you distinguish between two printers by the same manufacturer with the
same model for instance).


Thanks to your explanations this is very clear to me now John.

I am wondering why the need to write such device specific rules as opposed to writing some catch-all ones.

Now my USB key gets created fine but what if during a meeting someone hands me his ? Must write a new rule each time ????
