Obtaining the SySAM Host ID

Learn how to obtain your SySAM host ID.

Change to $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/bin, Where $SYBASE is the Sybase installation directory.
Change to %SYBASE%\SYSAM-2_0\bin, Where %SYBASE% is the Sybase installation directory.
Run the license manager utility that obtains the host ID for a served license:
```
./lmutil lmhostid
```
```
lmutil lmhostid
```
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 is my Host ID?"
Obtain a host ID—in this case, the network adapter address. To find the network adapter address enter:
```
ipconfig /all
```
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:
- 00400516E525 on Linux platforms.
- 170a3472 on Solaris platforms.
- fb491d9 on AIX platforms.
- ID_STRING= 972179e8-7b2b-11d7-bd55-4a651849415a on HP Itanium
- 00B0A9DF9A32 or 00-B0-A9-DF-9A-32 on Windows platforms.
