One workaround to this problem is to use the HostID match rating setting, HOSTID_MATCH_RATE when locking a license to multiple HostIDs. This setting lets you specify the percentage required for a successful match, from 0 (no matching required) to 100 (exact matching required). For example, SETTING HOSTID_MATCH_RATE="50" indicates that a 50% or better match must be achieved so that the license can work. This means that you allow your users to run the software if only two out of four HostIDs values are valid.
"System time differs more than 24 hours" error
If there is a significant discrepancy between the LM-X license server and license client, your lmx-server.log file will report an error message similar to the following:[2008-09-24 11:44:07] CHECKOUT by pcuratolo@pcuratolo: FRONTEND
[2008-09-24 11:44:33] FAIL: Client pcuratolo@pcuratolo system time differs more than 24 hours. Please correct it!

This check is performed by LM-X to protect against deliberate attempts to set the system clock time in order to tamper with their license expiration time. To resolve this problem, you must ensure that server and client machine clocks are not more than 24 hours apart.
