Note that this setting works only for standard HostID checking; it cannot be used with custom HostID comparison.
Usage and recommendations
HostID matching lets you offer a less strict hardware upgrade policy to your users, because you can decide whether to allow license checkouts using an exact 1:1 match or a more lenient partial match of HostID values.
For example, you might define a license file as follows:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<CLIENT_HOSTID> <SETTING ETHERNET="123..."/> <SETTING HOSTNAME="ALPHA1"/> </CLIENT_HOSTID> <SETTING HOSTID_MATCH_RATE="50"/> |
