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):

Examples for each of the options are shown below:
i4target -c or i4target -C
Current Permanent Target ID: 3e53d0
