Obtain the Server Host Name and Host ID Manually
If you are unable to use the Network License Activation utility to obtain your
server host name and host ID, you can obtain this information manually.
Autodesk uses the server host name, host ID, and product serial number to
generate a license file.
To obtain the information manually, you can use the Windows command
prompt or you can run the lmtools.exe utility. If you use lmtools.exe, do not
run it on a remote workstation.
To obtain the host name and ID using the Windows command prompt
1 Do one of the following:
■ (Windows XP) Click Start ➤ Programs ➤ Accessories ➤ Command
Prompt.
■ (Windows Vista) Click Start ➤ All Programs ➤ Accessories ➤
Command Prompt.
2 At the Windows command prompt, enter the following command, and
then press ENTER:
ipconfig /all
3 Locate the Host Name line, and write down the host name.
4 Locate the Physical Address line. Write down the physical address without
the dashes. This is your twelve-character host ID.
NOTE If your server has more than one network adapter, select the one that
corresponds to a physical network adapter. To determine which adapters are
physical: in the Windows command prompt, enter ipconfig /all, and then
view the Description field above each physical address. If there is more than
one physical network adapter, it does not matter which one you use. Devices
such as VPN adapters, PPP adapters, and modems are not valid.
5 Close the Windows command prompt.
