Serouche, In windows the host id is the MAC address and you see the hexadecimal string in license console not the decimal. Forgot to mention I was on Windows 2008. Thanks, Teresa

Type "hostid" on linux or sparc you will see a hexadecimal string You need to convert this into decimal and you'll get the hostid you see in the license console. Your clone must a perfect clone using the hostid. I would say this is not good but not a problem you need to change the hostid which is stored in a file under / somewhere. Google for it and you'll find the answer ;-) From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@arslist.org] On Behalf Of teresa S Fannin Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2015 11:58 PM To: arslist@arslist.org<mailto:arslist@arslist.org> Subject: Current Host ID for Licenses ** All, When I go to add a license on a 8.1 patch 2 system I see the Current Host ID in the ADD or Remove Licenses window. Where does the ID come from or where is it stored in the DB? I know it should be the MAC address of the server. Here is my problem I have a dev system and production system( both virtual servers) and when I go to the ADD or Remove Licenses window on both servers they show the same Current Host ID. Yes Production was a clone of dev but the Current Host ID is not the MAC Address of either server. Where did this Host ID come from and can I change it in the database?
