| Hardware ID |  | | | | | | | Finding the Hardware ID:| | | The Hardware ID is the physical ID of the License Server computer or workstation, and is used by the ME License Server (MEls) software to control license access. |  | For a license server workstation running HP-UX, this will typically be the address of the HP HIL security module connected to the workstation (typically this will look like "A46084A 2529A82926" or "8623AC4E") | | For a license server computer running Windows 2000 or Windows XP, this will typically be the LANID, or MAC Address, of the computer (this will be a 12-digit number of hexadecimal characters (0-9, a-f) and will usually look like: 00-E0-29-44-9b-2b or 0x00E029449B2B).
NOTE: This may also be an external "dongle" or MSU purchased from CoCreate, which will have an ID similar to: MSU2841523. |
| | | The easiest (and most reliable) way is to use a web browser to connect to the license server computer and get the Hardware ID directly from the MEls License Server software: | First, determine either the name or IP address (i.e xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) of your MEls computer | | Using a web browser, connect to your MEls machine on port 17171, i.e.
http://pc343534.mydomain.com:17171 |
If MEls is running on the machine specified, you will see a window similar to the following image:The Hardware ID being used by MEls is highlighted in the above image.Other possible methods: If you can open a command-line shell on the MEls computer, you can also run the command
"mels -q"
or you may be able to simply read the ID from the HP HIL or MSU module (if available). If you are unable to find the MAC Address of the license server computer running Windows 2000 or Windows XP, please refer to the following instructions: |
| Windows 2000: | | Select the Start menu, and the Run... option | | Type winmsd | | Click OK | | Open Components, Network, then Adapter | | From the right hand side of the window locate your network adapter | | The Hardware Address is labeled MAC Address under the adapter |
 | | | Windows XP: | | Click on the Start menu, and select Control Panel | | Double click on Network Connections | | Double click on Local Area Connection | | Click on the Support tab | | Click on the Details button | | The Hardware Address is labeled Physical Address |
