Determining Host IDs for Machines with Multiple Network Adapters
On some platforms, the host ID is derived from the network adapter address.
If the machine where your product is installed or where the license server is hosted has
multiple network adapters, running lmutil lmhostid returns one host ID for each network
adapter, and returns output similar to this:
The FLEXlm host ID of this machine
is ""0013023c8251 0015c507ea90""
Only use ONE from the list of hostids.
It is important that you:
• Choose only one host ID to enter during license generation.
• Use the value associated with the primary wired Ethernet adapter.
• Do not use values associated with internal loopback or virtual adapters.
If you cannot determine the host ID using the lmutil lmhostid output, use the native operating
system commands to get additional details.
Using Alternate Host IDs on Windows
If your Windows machine does not have a network adapter, SySAM allows you to use an
alternate host ID based on the hard disk serial number.
1.
At a Windows command prompt on the machine where you will deploy your license,
enter:
lmutil lmhostid -vsn
This returns output similar to:
The FLEXlm host ID of this machine is
"DISK_SERIAL_NUM=70ba7a9d"
2.
Use the complete output (DISK_SERIAL_NUM=70ba7a9d) for the host ID value
requested during license generation.
Knowing the Product License Type
Sybase sells products under different license types, which entitle the customer to different
rights of use. For example, whether a product is entitled to be used in production, or standby, or
development and test environments.
The license type determines the quantity of licenses required; dictating, for example, whether
a license is required for each machine; or for each CPU, or CPU chip; or per terabyte of
storage.
For example, a product purchased under the CPU License (CP) type requires one license per
CPU on the machine, partition, or resource set where it will run. The same product purchased
under the Server License (SR) type requires a single license for the machine, partition, or
resource set.
