Troubleshooting Tips
Wrong hostid for Machine
License manager states hostid is wrong for machine.
The vendor daemon checks the hostid listed on the SERVER line in the
license file; if it does not match the hostid of the machine it is running on,
this message will be printed. Possible causes include
• you are trying to run the license server on a different machine from
the machine the file was made for
• the hostid of the machine you are running on changed (for example,
the CPU board was replaced or the HP ID module was moved)
• the hostid in the license file was modified
Verify that the hostid of the machine running the vendor daemon
matches the hostid specified in the license file on the SERVER line for
the vendor. You can run the lmhostid program to see what FLEXlm
thinks the hostid is. You may not modify the hostid in the license file. If
the hostid of your server machine changes, you will have to get a new
license file from Hewlett-Packard.

The intended usage of lmver is
$ lmver program_or_library_name
This tells you what version of FLEXlm is bound in.
