Appendix C Hostids for FLEXlm-Supported Machines

FLEXlm uses different machine identifications for different machine architectures. For example, all Sun Microsystems, Inc. machines have a unique hostid, whereas all DEC machines do not. For this reason, the ethernet address is used on some machine architectures as the `hostid'. An ethernet address is a 6-byte quantity, with each byte specified as two hexadecimal digits. Specify all 12 hex digits when using an ethernet address as a hostid. For example, if the ethernet address is 8:0:20:0:5:ac, you would specify `0800200005AC' as the hostid.

The program lmhostid will print the exact hostid that FLEXlm expects to use on any given machine. The following table lists alternate methods to obtain the required hostid for each machine architecture.
