Yes, I confirm being able to login to AppStore, seeing my purchases and also to the Developer site and downloading Xcode 7.2.1 and the Command Line Tools for 7.2. It looks like the serial number is enough for these sites, only for iCloud they require something else. FYI, the Parallels macOS 10.10 VM was able to connect to iCloud without having to manually set any extra data. Posts: 18 Joined: 27.

Thank you, ChipMcK. I checked that page but could not identify the reported error case. If I'm missing something, please point me where to look. To summarize the case, my host computer is an Apple Mac Mini, running macOS 10.13, and the iCloud account is perfectly accesible from it.
On the Mac Mini I finally managed to install VirtualBox 5.2.6, after having to tweak the kext protection mechanism, by issuing Code: $ spctl kext-consent add VB5E2TV963 while in Recovery mode (). With VirtualBox, I installed an instance of macOS 10.10.5 Yosemite, using an ISO I created from the original Apple InstallESD.dmg. Inside the VM, I set the 'DmiSystemSerial' to the same string as seen on the Mac Mini host. This was enough to allow access to AppStore and the Apple Developer site. However, attempts to connect to iCloud fail with 'You cannot sign in to iCloud because there was a problem verifying the identity of this Mac. Try restarting your Mac and signing again.' Although on the host computer exactly the same account is accepted.
So, if anyone managed to configure the extra data such that access to iCloud is functional (I guess that in addition to the serial number other variables are necessary), please let me know the details.
