| 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 computer running Windows, 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 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 OR http://192.168.1.45:17171

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 MSU module (if
available). If you are unable to find the MAC
Address of the license server computer running Windows, please refer to the following instructions:
