I'm trying to check my lens Serial number to see it's age and information. sadly the Canon serial checker does nothing when I click to check (after choosing a 100mm F2.8 L lens and writing down the serial)
I tried Edge, Chrome, and Safari and nothing works.
the serial number is [removed per community guidelines - (personal info)]
can someone give me a hand checking the info, if you are luckier than me please post what it says.

Hello!
Welcome to the Canon Community!
So the Community can better assist, what information are you looking for as it pertains to your lens and its serial number?
Where was your lens purchased?
If you have the original 100mm F2.8L lens, it's retired.

all I want is to check the date of manufacuring. How can i do so by using the serial number? Any way to find this kind of information via the serial number?

Is the lens the original 100mm f/2.8, or a newer iteration?
