There was a problem hiding this comment.
Also need to amend /unix-installation-and-configuration-guide/configuration-parameters/environment-variables/ to include the default value.
DYALOG_SERIALFILE is non-Windows only, so it belongs in the Dyalog for UNIX guide rather than the Windows guide. Note the default location $HOME/.dyalog/serial and its use in a multi-user environment.

Add a DYALOG_SERIALFILE configuration-parameter page: the full path to the text file containing your Dyalog serial number, defaulting to $HOME/.dyalog/serial, as already documented in the macOS guide. Register it in the navigation and cross-link it with DYALOG_SERIAL (nothing links to the obsolete SERIAL parameter).
