Send code to save
<?php
//submit code
if(isset($_POST['service_name']) ){
$data=serialize($_POST['service_name']);
update_post_meta($postid, 'service_name', $data);
}
?>
Change code
<?php
//edit code
$data=get_post_meta($postid, 'service_name');
//$data=unserialize($data[0]);
$data=$data[0];
print_r($data);
?>
<input type="checkbox" id="architecture" size="80" name="service_name[]" value="Architecture" <?php if(in_array('Architecture',$data) ){echo "checked";} ?> >Architecture
//other checkbox put as this
