NAME
i4target - returns the local LicensePower/iFOR target id
SYNOPSIS
i4target
i4target
[-c ][-C ][-h ][-H ][-o ][-O ][-q ][-Q ][-v ][-V ]
DESCRIPTION
i4target is used to find the target ID that can be used by LicensePower/iFOR for locking licenses to a
particular system.
To create LicensePower/iFOR licenses for an application, an application supplier will need the target ID of
the machine where the LicensePower/iFOR licenses will be installed. The target ID tool (i4target)
should be run on the machine where you want to identify a LicensePower/iFOR target ID. For server-based
licensing, this will be the machine that is executing the license server (i4lmd) where you plan to install
this application supplier’s licenses. For nodelocked licensing, this will be the system where the application
will be executing.
The algorithm that is used to identify a LicensePower/iFOR target ID may vary depending on operating
system platform.
For example: On an HP-UX machine licenses managed by the i4lmd (concurrent and use once licenses),
the LicensePower/iFOR target ID is derived from the link level address of the LAN card accessed by the
device file /dev/i4target on the machine that is running the
i4lmd.If/dev/i4target does not
exist and the super-user is executing
i4target, i4target will create /dev/i4target
.OnanHP
9000 Series 700 or 800, the device file will be for the lan0 LAN card. This is the same method used by the
i4lmd for determining the LicensePower/iFOR ID of the machine on which it is executing.
On HP-UX, for LicensePower/iFOR nodelocked licenses, the LicensePower/iFOR ID is derived from:
• The LAN card accessed by
/dev/i4target
,or
• The built in SPU ID number, or
• An HIL ID Module.
A printable on-line administration guide is also available.(See the FILES section below.)
Options
-c -C Change the permanent target ID value.
-h -H Help. Display a list of options.
-o -O Display operating system name.
-q -Q Display target ID in quiet mode (without headers).
-v -V Display a verbose list of the LicensePower/iFOR target IDs from each possible source. The
list consist of the link level address of the installed LAN cards. A super-user can then use
the address to change to an alternate LAN card. This lets you change the IO slot where a
LAN card is installed without losing the use of LicensePower/iFOR licenses locked to that
LAN card.
RETURN VALUE
i4target always returns 0.
DIAGNOSTICS
Messages displayed during execution are self-explanatory.
EXAMPLES
To find the current local LicensePower/iFOR target ID(s):
i4target
Examples for each of the options are shown below:
i4target -c or i4target -C
Current Permanent Target ID: 3e53d0
