Licensing on Windows platforms
On Windows platforms the hardware identifier may be either a hardware security
key or an Ethernet ID. To determine a security key ID number, check the number
printed on the key. To determine the Ethernet ID, select Start > Run then Open
"cmd" (Windows NT/2000/XP), or Open "command.com" (Windows 98/Me) to
open a command prompt. At the command prompt type:
doskey
ipconfig -all |more
Check the configuration listing for your Ethernet "Physical Address". Windows
98 and Me users: Your listing may include two Physical Addresses; use the
Physical Address for your Ethernet card, NOT the PPP Adapter.
Licensing on Unix platforms

the commands that return the ID:

Look for the line that reads something like
this: "Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00."
Remove the colons and you have the required
12-digit ID.
uname -i HP-UX
"uname -i" reports a long decimal number;
convert to hexadecimal or pre-pend with #
uname -m RS/6000
returns a long number; delete the last two
digits and use the remaining last eight digits
