your ser#  1128029114
stock #    2005093000
           YYYYMMDDnn

all you do is add the new # in the format YYYYMMDDnn
2005093000 is larger than 1128029114, so the slaves update.

if your ser # was 4294967200 it might be an issue.

your ser # is in "tinydns format" as per your info,
that works as well.
