Context
Local licenses (also called node-locked licenses) unlock the product on a specific computer identified by its host ID. On the machine where the license server is installed, use one of the following methods to get your license server host ID.
Prerequisites
Before trying any of the following methods to get your machine host ID, please disable all temporary network connections (WLAN card, docking station, etc.). This ensures that the computer ID is based on a permanent network adapter. You can re-enable the temporary network connections afterwards.
Process
1. Get your Host ID using Amira, Avizo, or PerGeos License Manager - Only for Amira 5.6 to Amira 2020.2, Avizo 8.1 to Avizo 2020.2, PerGeos 1.0 to 2020.2
When you launch your Amira, Avizo, or PerGeos product, the License Manager will appear if no valid license is found. If needed, select Help > License Manager to display the dialog.
The Computer ID is displayed in the Computer ID field (the field name may vary depending on the version of the product.)
2. Get your Host ID using Command Line
- Open a command console on Windows, a command shell on a Linux system, or a terminal window on a Mac.
- Use the cd command to navigate to:
- /share/license/FLEXnet subdirectory for Amira, Avizo or PerGeos installations, where AVIZOAPPSHOME is the installation path of your Amira, Avizo, or PerGeos application.
- /arch*release/license subdirectory for Open Inventor installations, where OIVHOME is the installation path of the Open Inventor package.
- To get the host ID, execute the command lmhostid.
If multiple host IDs are displayed, select only one.
3. Get your Host ID using the Thermo Scientific License Manager
