Identifying the Host Name of Your License Server:

The same command can be used on both Solaris or Linux to determine the Host Name of your license server. Just login on the license server and execute the command "hostname".

Identifying the Host Id of your License Server (determining Host IDs varies by operating system):

Solaris:

The Solaris Host ID is an eight digit hex number. To determine the Host ID of a Solaris license server, just login on the license server and execute the command "hostid".

Linux:

On Linux machines, FLEXlm licensing uses the ethernet address as the hostid. If FLEXlm licensing is already installed on this machine, and its lmutil tools are in your path, determining the FLEXlm hostid of a machine is simple. Running "lmhostid" on your license server would give you the following example output.

The FLEXlm host ID of this machine is "00400516E525"

Alternately, if "lmhostid" doesn't work for you, to determine this address, log onto the Linux machine to be used as a license server, and run: /sbin/ifconfig eth0

This will produce about 8 lines of output. The first line should include a twelve digit code that is the ethernet hardware address. It looks like:

Ethernet HWaddr, 00:40:05:16:E5:25

Remove the colons from this code to get the Linux hostid used by FLEXlm. In the above example, this hostid would be 00400516E525.
