ID=n Functionally equivalent to the “ANY” hostid—it runs on
any machine. The difference is that the license is unique
and is used to identify the end user. This hostid is used
to lock the license server system (on the SERVER line)
or the FLEXenabled application (on the
FEATURE/INCREMENT line). The number can have
dashes included for readability—the dashes are ignored.
Examples:
ID=12345678 is the same as
ID=1234-5678 is the same as
ID=1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8
INTERNET=
###.###.###.###
Locks the software to an Internet IP address, or group of
IP addresses. Wildcards are allowed. For example,
198.156.*.* means any host with a matching internet IP
address. The main use is to limit usage access by subnet,
implying geographic area. For this purpose, it is used on
the FEATURE/INCREMENT line as a hostid lock.
USER=user Locks the software to user name user.
