In the Timbuktu window, go to the Finder (just click into the empty 
desktop, or use the application menu at the upper right edge). Then 
select "restart" from the "special" menu.

Of course this will physically restart your server, and you'll loose 
the Timbuktu connection within a few seconds; you have to re-connect 
later for entering the right serial number.

I'd also suggest you note your serial number(s) in the notebook file 
or in the scrapbook file, or as a SimpleText file onyour server so 
that it/they us/are always available should you need to enter it/them 
again.

Best wishes, Christian.
