In the past the Server license was tied to the MAC address of the Primary NIC on Windows servers. I have a feeling that even with all the changes with licensing in 7.1, that this hasn't changed.

The server should recognize any valid MAC addresses in the keys. Use the one from the physical card (even if it's not the one prepopulated in the license dialog.) hth, tony -- Tony Worthington [EMAIL PROTECTED] 262-703-5911 Kaiser Norm E CIV USAF 96 CS/SCCE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "Action Request System discussion list(ARSList)" <[email protected]> 09/05/2007 07:48 AM Please respond to [email protected] To [email protected] cc Subject Re: ARS 7.1 and Vista, Host ID keeps changing?! There is probably some other device with a MAC address that is feeding the license tool that "bogus" MAC. When you do an ipconfig /all, what MAC does it display? -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Koelemij Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2007 4:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: ARS 7.1 and Vista, Host ID keeps changing?! ** Hello ARSList, This is my first e-mail to this list but I have been monitoring it awhile for now. Yesterday I bought a new machine and installed Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit onto it. Today I installed SQL Server 2005 with Service Pack 2 on it, and now I started installing ARS 7.1. Everything wend fine. Then I logged in with Demo user, to add licenses to the server. However the strangest thing happens. Each time my computer reboots, the "Current Host ID" field changes. It also contains an ID I do not recognize. As in, it is not one of the MAC addresses of my network card. This is very annoying because I *just* wend to the support site to request a trial license, and now this license I can no longer use. I cannot go to the support site, requesting a license each time I reboot my computer ?!? :-| Does anyone have maybe any idea what is going on?
