Hi,
I want to install some EDA tools to several pcs.
Every Pc shows different host id.
It is difficult for me to maintain lic for each PC.
Is there any method to change host id for Redhat 7.3 ?

Sincerely,

lipton

What do you mean HOSTID ? Is that serial number of your HD ? MAC Adress ? EDA programs define HOSTID differently.

Hello Mike ,

If your HOSTID is the MAC ADDRESS of your ethernet card you may give
a look at this topic
h**p://www.elektroda.pl/eboard/viewtopic.php?t=25188
*->t
else , you can try to generate license files (with E*F*A*L*i*c*g*e*n)
with HOSTID=ANY .

Good luck

changing the hostid on linux pc is very ease, and this change is permanent, you can use only one line program to resolve it. but now I forget the source file. I will give it to you after a moment.

You may get your HOSTNAME from /etc/hostname.

To change the host ID, try to type the following statements in bash:

ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
ifconfig eth0 up

The above statements are only valid if u interface is eth0=Ethernet0

Hi all, I've used the script above, but I have to replicate an hostid of another machine that starts with a 0; and when I try to modify the value my hostid was set without the first 0. I've tried all in my possibilities and I've googled a lot but without benefits. Crying or Very sad
