Obtain the Server Host Name and Host ID
Autodesk uses the server host name, host ID, and product serial number to
generate a license file.
To obtain the information, use one of the following procedures.
To obtain the host name and ID at the Windows command prompt
1 At the Windows command prompt, enter ipconfig /all
2 Record the Host Name and Physical Address line. Eliminate dashes from
the physical address. 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. 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.
3 Close the Windows command prompt.
