A license must be bound to a particular machine, either the license server for floating licenses or the Silk Performer controller
machine for standalone licenses.
To bind a license, a so-called host ID is required. In case of
Silk Meter, the host ID is the MAC address of a LAN card, which can be obtained as follows:
-
On the machine you want to generate the license for, open a command prompt and enter the command
ipconfig/all.
The network adapters and additional information is listed.
-
Note the host ID, which is the
MAC Address or
Physical Address of your LAN card, for example
00-BF-00-1C-D3-3D.
Tip: Depending on your system setup, including virtual machines and VPN connections, your computer might have several network adapters
with different MAC addresses. Be sure to note the host ID of your physical LAN card.
In case of the
AutoPass license server the host ID is called
lock code and is displayed under
LICENSE menu in the
INSTALL tab. For further details about
AutoPass license server installation and usage refer to the corresponding product page on the
Micro Focus Marketplace.
