HostIDs

...

The HostIDs tab lets you specify the HostIDs that will be used to lock the license, such as Ethernet, Hostname, IP Address, etc. The available HostID types depend on the types that are supported by the license generator being used.

For license generators other than LM-X (FlexNet and Reprise), you can select one HostID type to lock the license to. When using LM-X as the license generator, you can select multiple HostID types. For each HostID type, specify the minimum required and the maximum allowed for successful HostID verification. For both fields, the range is from 0 - 16, and defaults to 1.

The desired HostID match rate percentage, which specifies the percentage of HostIDs that must match for successful HostID verification. This lets you lock your software to multiple HostID values, but allow users to run the software if only a percentage of the HostID values are valid. For example, if you select both Username and Hostname as HostID types, and specify a match rate of 50%, the license will be valid if either the Username or Hostname matches the set values.

For more information about using HostIDs with LM-X, see the HostIDs section of the LM-X Developer's Manual, and the Knowledgebase article, "Which HostID should I lock my license to?" For more information about LM-X HostID match rate, see the HOSTID_MATCH_RATE section of the LM-X Developer's Manual, and the Knowledgebase article, "How to use HostID matching."
