This program will change the serial number of an exFAT volume.

Administrator privileges are not needed when operating on "ejectable" volumes (such as USB removable devices).

Before making any changes the exFAT filesystem boot records will be checked for consistency, if an invalid state is detected the program will abort (try using 'chkdsk' program to fix the volume).

The latest version can be downloaded from the releases.

IMPROPER USE OF THIS SOFTWARE MAY RESULT IN DATA LOSS. DO NOT REMOVE USB DEVICES WHEN USING THIS SOFTWARE. DO NOT TURN OFF OR CUT THE POWER TO THE DEVICE HOSTING THE VOLUME. ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP OF DATA ON THE VOLUME YOU OPERATE ON.

For Linux there is exfatprogs where the tune.exfat -I 0x12345678 /dev/sda1 command will set the new serial number for an exFAT volume.

Microsoft publishes VolumeID utility which works on FAT and NTFS volumes.
