$ sudo dmidecode | grep -i serial | grep VM
        Serial Number: VMware-42 18 59 50 7a fe ee b9-86 41 a6 c8 5a 5a 23 a6

Bionic:
ii dmidecode 3.1-1 amd64 SMBIOS/DMI table decoder
$ sudo cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_serial
VMware-42 18 ac 2f fd b1 53 1b-8d ba ba ce ed cd d5 4b
$ sudo dmidecode | grep -i serial | grep VM
        Serial Number: VMware-42 18 ac 2f fd b1 53 1b-8d ba ba ce ed cd d5 4b
