Sorry for the late reply. Have you got this working now?
The hostid of the AR Server license must be the one that it picks up from
the system when you apply it. The other licenses requiring a host id will
then have to use this same host id.

Um. Microsoft is it's own standard which is different from being the

My issue with IE is that it is so integrated into the OS, that a lot of

are not so integrated and retrieving some of that info is not as easy.
