If you plan to install a new license server, or use an existing 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 FLEXnet Publisher download page
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. For additional information, see the FAQs after you logon to the Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC).
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. Sybase
recommends that you use the value associated with the primary wired
Ethernet adapter. Do not use values associated with internal loop
back adapters.
