For example, you would install Windows 2000, then Windows XP, and then Windows Vista in that order if you wanted a triple-boot configuration with these three operating systems. Windows home vista premium.

Jul 9, 2015 - Hi folks, There have been a few threads about USB license dongles on virtual license servers. Were trying that now w/ PFTrack and VMWare, but the host doesnt seem to see the dongle. No responsibility is accepted by Cutting Edge for any loss. How would people feel about sharing docker files? The files which the License Manager needs to update are typically stored in a. If no dongle was found (for a Flexible License), and if no PFLic license server.

Answer

A host ID (or hostid) is an identifier unique to a particular computer, and is used by FLEXnet to lock licenses to a particular machine. If the host ID provided at the time the license is generated is wrong, then the license does not enable the tools.

The method of obtaining a host ID differs depending on the type of license, the hardware platform, and operating system used.

Node-Locked Licenses: For node-locked licenses you must use the host ID of the client machine. Node-locked licenses are normally locked to the physical address, also known as MAC address, of the computer network card. If you change your network card, you must apply to ARM for a new license.
Floating License: For floating licenses you must use the host ID(s) of the license server(s) hosting the licenses - not that of the client workstation(s).

FLEXnet tools

If you have the FLEXnet tools installed, you can get a list of the recognised host IDs by executing the following from a terminal on Linux or a command (run) prompt on Windows:

lmutil lmhostid

The host ID is the 12 digit value, without the dashes. So in the example above, the host ID is 001124642313.

Note: Be aware that for recent versions of Linux that use the new Consistent Network Device Naming scheme, lmutil lmhostid returns all zeros. ARM recommends that you use ifconfig for these version of Linux.

Alternative methods of finding the host ID

You can also find the host ID manually using:

OS	Command	Server Host ID Type	Comments
Windows	ipconfig /all	ETHERNET	The hostid is returned as the 12 digit hex ‘Physical Address’. Remove the hyphens, ‘-’, before entering it.
Linux	/sbin/ifconfig eth0	ETHERNET	Returns a 12 digit hex ‘HWaddr’. Remove the colons. Only eth0 can be used to obtain the host ID.
Solaris	/usr/bin/hostid	LONG	Returns the 8 digit hex host ID.

Notes:

The Server Host ID Type is required when you request your license from the ARM web licensing portal. See the FAQ entry, How do I obtain my license file, for more information.
If you are requesting a three server (redundant server) license then you must have a valid and different host ID for each of the three machines.

Note: If the client PC has multiple network adapters the command returns multiple Physical Addresses. On a Windows machine, any Physical Address can be used - as long as it is visible when running the tools. Beware of using wireless adapters because they might be disabled when not in use to save power.
