The Server ID is the MAC address. If you have more than one mac, then you can go to the admin tool to see the server ID. The license keys are generated against a specific server ID, so if the server ID changes, as is in your case, then your licenses will not work.
You are correct in stating the server ID is the MAC.

I checked and it appeared our Server ID had changed, thus invalidating our server license. I thought only a hardware change to the box would cause a Server ID/MAC address change. I asked around and our hardware group says they didn't change anything. We don't have any virtual environments that would generate a dynamic MAC address. Does anybody have any idea what would cause this server id to change? I am perplexed.
