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

  • Open the "System Preferences" and go to "Network"

  • Select an ethernet port and click on More Options... > Hardware

  • Copy down the "MAC-Address" code for the licensing process - 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!
