I'm pretty sure that hostid is the Ethernet address.

Hi Sam,

>From the information you provided:

The above shows that your:
MAC / Ethernet address = 3085a99911fb
HostID / computer name = ffffffff
Open the
E:\3D_Programs\Softimage\Softimage2013\Licenses\SFTIM2013enlicense_samwin-3770K.lic
Ensure that the 1st line of the SFTIM2013enlicense_samwin-3770K.lic reads:
SERVER ffffffff 3085a99911fb
USE_SERVER
Etc...
If you have changed your computer name you could either revert to ffffffff or
re-generate a new lic file.
- Ensuring that the local license server starts automatically.
For the local network license server to start-up automatically, the following
settings in LMTools will take care of it:
Open LMTOOLS > "Config Services" TAB
1. Check "Use Services" box
2. Check "Start Server at Power Up"
3. Save Service
4. "Start/Stop/Reread" TAB > Re-Read License File. It should prompt "Reread Server
License File Completed", if there is an error, restart your computer and execute the re-read
again.
Thank you.
Regards
Nick

I just got everything reinstalled after my old system died and it seemed to go
good for licensing Softimage and I have it set to start when the computer
starts up. The problem is that every time I restart the computer the license
doesn't work at first. If I restart the server or reread the license everything
works, but every time I restart the computer it fails again.
I get this error in the logs:
15:57:41 (adskflex) Wrong hostid on SERVER line for license file:
15:57:41 (adskflex) E:\3D_Programs\Softimage\Softimage
2013\Licenses\SFTIM2013enlicense_samwin-3770K.lic
15:57:41 (adskflex) SERVER line says 3085a99911fb, hostid is ffffffff
15:57:41 (adskflex) Invalid hostid on SERVER line
>From what I've found online it seems to mean that my Ethernet address
is
wrong, but if that was true it would not work after restarting the server or
rereading the license.
Any ideas what the problem could be?
