The "hostid" is required for the node-locked and floating licenses (the Id in the screenshot is an example). With this Id your final licenses will be created, so please make sure that you are using the correct one, because it is different for every computer. Once the Id has been added to your license it cannot be changed anymore – this process is final. In the “Customer Gateway” of RealFlow's website you have to enter the “hostid” and claim your license file. The file will be stored on your computer and can use the wizard again to install it. To get the Id for a different computer, please click here.
