Obtaining the SySAM Host ID

Learn how to obtain your SySAM host ID.

1. Change to %SYBASE%\SYSAM-2_0\bin, Where %SYBASE% is the Sybase installation directory.
2. To obtain a host ID for a served license enter:

   lmutil lmhostid

   Note:

   On some platforms, the host ID is derived from the network adapter address. If your machine has multiple network adapters, lmutil lmhostid returns one host ID for each network adapter. The output may look similar to:

   The FLEXlm host ID of this machine
         is ""0013023c8251 0015c507ea90"" 
         Only use ONE from the list of hostids.

   Choose one of these host IDs. Sybase recommends that you use the value associated with the primary wired Ethernet adapter. Do not use values associated with internal loopback adapters. If you cannot determine which host ID to use from the lmutil lmhostid output, use an appropriate native operating system command to get additional details. See the SPDC FAQ topic titled, "What's my Host ID."

3. To obtain a host ID for an unserved licenses, use the network adapter address for the host ID. To find the network adapter address enter:

   ipconfig /all

4. Make note of the host ID so you can use it later at SPDC.
   
   • Your host ID is platform-specific, but may be similar to:
     
     • 00B0A9DF9A32 or 00-B0-A9-DF-9A-32 on Windows platforms.
