Special FLEXnet Licensing Hostids
FLEXnet Licensing contains a number of special hostid types which apply to all platforms.
These hostid types are valid to use in both SERVER lines and FEATURE lines, wherever a
hostid is required. These are:
Windows ethernet
address
lmhostid
00B0A9DF9A32
Disk serial
number
DIR C: (look for “Volume
Serial Number is”, and remove
“-”)
DISK_SERIAL_NUM=
3e2e17fd
FLEXid
parallel or
USB port
dongle
lmhostid -flexid
FLEXID=8-b28520b9
FLEXids are made available by your vendor. Your vendor
can also provide you with an installer that installs drivers
for all FLEXids.
For parallel FLEXids, the parallel port must be configured
in bi-directional mode.
ANY Locks the software to any machine (i.e., does not lock
anything).
DEMO Similar to ANY, but only for use with uncounted
FEATURE lines.
COMPOSITE=
composit_hostid
Locks the software to a composite hostid. A composite
hostid is a hashed 12-character hexidecimal value formed
by combining the values of one or more simple hostids
types, as defined by the software vendor.
DISPLAY=display Locks the software to display display. On UNIX,
display is /dev/ttyxx (which is always /dev/tty
when an application is run in the background) or the X-
Display name. On Windows, it is the system name or, in
the case of a terminal server environment, the terminal
server client name. (v8+ FLEXenabled applications only)
HOSTNAME=host Locks the software to computer host name host.
Hardware Platform Hostid Type this command on the
license server system:
