6.2.3.2 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.

Procedure

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.
