Getting your host ID

Run the host ID command if it is available. If it is not yet available run the OS command to get your host ID:

1. Change to $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/bin. Where $SYBASE is the Sybase installation directory.

2. To run the host ID command Enter:

   ./lmutil lmhostid
   

   On some platforms, the host ID is derived from the network adapter address. If your machine has multiple network adapters, lmutil lmhostid returns one host ID for each network adapter. The output may look similar to:

         The FLEXlm host ID of this machine
         is ""0013023c8251 0015c507ea90"" 
         Only use ONE from the list of hostids.
   

   Choose one of these host IDs. Sybase recommends using the value associated with the primary wired Ethernet adapter. Do not use values associated with internal loop back adapters. If you cannot determine which host ID to use from the lmutil lmhostid output, use the native operating system command to get additional details to help make the determination. See to the SPDC FAQ titled,“What’s my Host ID,” or “Appendix A” of the FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide for the exact commands for your platform.

3. If the lmutil utility is not available, run the OS command:

   hostid
   

   This gives you to 32-bit host ID.

4. Save the host ID so you can use it later at SPDC. Your host ID is platform-specific, but may be similar to:

   170a3472 on Solaris platforms.
