Determination of Host_ID

Post by jan » Mon Jun 23, 2008 8:08 am

MICRESS makes use of the Flex LM License manager. To issue a license file the HOST-ID of the computer on which MICRESS shall be installed is required.

Software to determine the HOST_ID of your machine is available at:

http://www.mve.com/static/host_id.html


For UNIX:

download either
Solaris version lmutil.gz or
IRIX version lmutil.gz

prompt# gzip -d lmutil.gz
prompt# ./lmutil lmhostid

The HostId is displayed on the screen.

It may be necessary to turn the program into an 'executable' . To do so just enter 'chmod 775 lmutil’

For Windows:

Download and run "lmtools.exe" by double click. In "systems settings" the Host_ID appears under "Ethernet Adress"

Hi!

Alternatively once you have installed MICRESS, you should have a 'FLEXlm' directory: which contains a file 'Get_Host_ID[.bat]' (it only has this 'bat' extension under Windows): double-click it under Windows (execute it under Linux or Unix): this should give a file 'Host_ID.txt' (which is just what it says!).
