The only argument that is required for lacutil is the activation key. The HostID of the current machine will be used automatically, if the HostID is required. There is also an option to print out HostIDs of the machine and eventually specify them manually, which can let you activate a license locked to a different machine than the current one.

from a command line. You can retrieve HostIDs and send them as a part of the activation request, as well as specify proxy information.

Command usage

The lacutil command usage is as follows. Optional parameters are enclosed in square brackets ( [ ] ). Variables are shown in italic text.

Examples

• To print out a HostID list for the current machine:

lacutil.exe -hostid

• To activate a license by specifying the activation key, with the HostID selected automatically from the current machine:
