Get Your Host ID

To install or use a license server, you need the license server host ID.

FLEXnet Licensing uses different machine identifications for different machine architectures. If you have a copy of the FLEXnet licensing utilities installed, you can use the lmhostid utility to print the exact host ID that FLEXnet Licensing expects to use on any given machine. lmutil is included in your product distribution, or you can download a copy from the FLEXnet Publisher download page at: http://www.globes.com/support/fnp_utilities_download.htm#unixdownload

You can also use a system-level command to find the host ID. For platform-specific commands and examples, see Hostids for FLEXnet Licensing-Supported Platforms at: http://www.flexerasoftware.com/products/flexnet-publisher/requirements.htm.

Note: Some platforms derive the host ID from the network adapter address. If your machine has multiple network adapters, the command you use to get the host ID may return one host ID for each network adapter. If this occurs, choose only one from the list of host IDs. Use the value associated with the primary wired Ethernet adapter. Do not use values associated with internal loopback adapters.
