Both had stickers for L/NO. 9CJ323. Does that mean the stock for the first run of 10,000 calculators is about to be exhausted? HP Office Supply is probably not selling the calculators in sequential CE Number order.

Has anyone deciphered what the lot number means? The 23 looks like a year. It probably includes a country code, a plant code, and a line code. Is there a month number? Anybody here know?

Just curious... why is "HEWLETT-PACKARD" missing from the lower left of the 15C CE? Is it because of the licensing agreement Moravia has with HP?

Thank you for the opportunity to post. Hoping that everyone gets their 15C CE calculators soon!

Yes, the split of HP into HPE and HPI had criteria for use of certain trademarks and this removal is one of those (I've no idea if there are others, but presumably so). Other models (e.g. 12C) have similarly had "Hewlett Packard" removed.

About the lot number, perhaps we can get answer at HHC coming up in a few weeks?
