To determine the Host ID/Target ID of the machine on which the FlexNet license server is installed (using lmhostid)

The lmhostid is a command line utility, which prints the Host ID/Target ID that a FlexNet license server requires on any supported system. The Lmhostid utility is available as an executable called lmutil


  1. Locate lmutil for a particular OS in the downloaded <product folder>\Flex_Utilities_User_Guides_Vendor_Daemons\<FlexNet version>\Server utilities folder.
  2. Run lmutil with lmhostid parameter from the command line. Lmhostid displays the default Host ID/Target ID for the current platform.


For the exact commands for a specific OS refer to: License Administration Guide (Obtaining System Hostids):

Note

If two or more Ethernet addresses are available on the particular machine, the first one printed by the Host ID command should be used.
