I have installed "El Capitan" but in the properties I get "Serial number 0" and I can not access my Apple ID. Is there any way to put a valid serial number to access my applications.
Thanks and regards.

Attach the vbox.log for the guest.
With the VM fully shut down, right click it in the VB GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

Re: Serial Number "El Capitan" and Apple Id
Hey I was wondering if there was a solution found to this yet. I have searched online and it was suggested to try this in terminal:
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiSystemSerial" "MacSerial"
and
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemSerial" "MacSerial"
where VM Name is my virtual machine name and MacSerial is the serial number of my Host mac.
But if I try those I get an error when trying to run the VM I get the following error
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine macosx.
Configuration error: Querying "RamSize" as integer failed (VERR_CFGM_VALUE_NOT_FOUND).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: ConsoleWrap

I have attached a copy of the log for you as well.
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiSystemSerial" "MacSerial"
and
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemSerial" "MacSerial"
where VM Name is my virtual machine name and MacSerial is the serial number of my Host mac.

Re: Serial Number "El Capitan" and Apple Id
I see a lot of problems with that config (RAM way too high, VRAM laughably low), so are you sure your only problem is your Apple ID? I can't comment on the latter problem as I'm not an Apple user.
Re: Serial Number "El Capitan" and Apple Id
I too have tried the above mentioned Set serial, found an article that stated "MACSerial#" should be formated:
"string:MACSERIAL#"
However, I'm getting the same error message.

Ok, can set serial #, replace pcbios with efi
VBoxManage setextradata "MACOSX" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemSerial" "string:MACSERIAL#"
This successfully sets the serial #, however still cannot log into APP Store. Itunes works though.
