Serial File Properties
Serial File properties are easy to access, as the generated serial file is stored in JSON format. This
makes it simple for the user to save and parse the information.
Note:
Serial Files in JSON format are compatible with
Cyclone LC

Users that wish to retrieve the original text serial number format can parse out the JSON file:
