The HostIDs tab lets you specify the HostID(s) that will be used to lock the license, such as Ethernet, Hostname, IP Address, etc. When HostID locking is used, the proper HostID information must be supplied in order to activate the license. The available HostID types and the options depend on which types are supported by the license generator being used. To use HostID locking, toggle HostID locking on and specify the HostID settings as described below.

When using LM-X as the license generator, you can select multiple one or more HostID types to lock the license to. For each HostID type, specify the minimum required and the maximum allowed Minimum Required (0 to 16; defaults to 1) and the Maximum Allowed (1 to 16; defaults to 1) for successful HostID verification. For both fieldsexample, the range is from 0 - 16, and defaults to 1.if you require the IP Address, and additionally require the Username, Hostname, or IP Address your settings would be:
HostID Type | Min Required | Max Allowed |
|---|---|---|
Ethernet | 0 | 1 |
Username | 0 | 1 |
Hostname | 0 | 1 |
IP Address | 1 | 1 |
The Match Rate % field lets you specify 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, with the settings above, 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 valuescan be activated using the IP Address and only one of the other HostID values. However, if you specify a match rate of 75%, the license activation will require that 3 of the 4 HostID types are given.
