Hostid
The Hostid is required for the licensing process and here is how to get it:
Windows
- Run the "Command" (cmd.exe) application.
- Enter
ipconfig /all
- Copy down the "Physical Address" (aka "MAC address") from the "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection" (or "... Wireless Connection") section.
- The hyphens between the two-digit blocks are not necessary.
- All addresses shown here are examples and have to be replaced through your actual address!
Linux
- As the root user (or user with appropriate permissions)
- Type "ifconfig -a"
- From the displayed information, find eth0 (this is the default first Ethernet adapter)
- Locate the number next to the HWaddr. This is your MAC address - the colons between the two-digit blocks are not necessary.
- All addresses shown here are examples and have to be replaced through your actual address!
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:C7:1B:8C:02 inet addr:192.168.111.20 Bcast:192.168.111.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
macOS
