arslist Digest - 4 Sep 2007 (#2007-389)Maybe you have 2 network cards, a wireless and a Ethernet maybe? Each of them has its own Mac Address. Open your command prompt and check the results of ipconfig /all and check how many network devices you have and what each of their addresses is. I think these must be starting in a random order, hence the one that starts first possibly becomes the default Mac Address.
If this is the case, you might want to start your devices in order, the first device being the one that your AR Server is licensed against. You might need to mess around with your registry a little to do this. If each of your device has an identifiable service that starts up automatically on reboot, what you could do is create a key for the devices that have other addresses called 'DependOnService' and the value of this key being the service they are supposed to depend on, followed by a hard carriage return in the value. Hope this helps..

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 ?!? K Does anyone have maybe any idea what is going on?
