Primary Network Interface Change May Require a License Rehost
The Host ID used by the licensing utility is obtained from the LifeKeeper server’s primary network
interface card (NIC). LifeKeeper will check for a valid license each time it starts. If your LifeKeeper
server should require a NIC replacement in the future that would cause the Host ID to change, then
the next time LifeKeeper is stopped, a License Rehost must be performed before starting LifeKeeper
again. Log in to the SIOS Technology Corp. Licensing Operations Portal and select Support
Actions/Rehost from the Manage Licenses screen to perform this rehost. (Note: A rehost can be
performed one time per six-month period without contacting support.)
