Change in HOSTID of the machine stopped Synopsys DC

hostid pc flexlm

Hi folks ..

I have Synopsys DC installed on my machine .. but recently I have done some work to allow linux to connect to the wireless hot spot I'm having .. that resulted in changing the hostid of the machine from the ethernet card ID to the wireless card ID !!! .. I don't know how did that happen .. but anyhow, I discovered that when I ran (lmhostid) to find that the hostid has changed ..

As a result, Synopsys license is no more working as it was generated with the old hostid .. now, I want to know if there is a way to change the hostid back to the ethernet card ID ?? .. or to have multiple hostid's which you can switch among ?? ..

how to change system settings in lmtools

normally, all existing hostids on a machine are enumerated by flexlm, could be WLAN, Ethernet also BlueTooth. You should have LMTOOLS installed on your computer with FLEXLM, in the System Settings tab, it lists hostids and other unique properties that could potentially be used for license node-locking: Disk serials, CPU IDs and "Ethernet addresses". All properties shown here should be recocnized by license manager when referenced in a node-locked license.

I indeed have the LMTOOLS installed with FlexLM .. yet, I don't see them in the System Settings tab .. do you know which command should I use to list all the hostid's ? .. I tried using 'lmhostid' and it gave me only the WiFe hostid ..

may be you can try command "ifconfig" with root,
then you can get all the mac address, key word is "HWaddr"

My problem is not to find the MAC address of the NIC's I'm having on my PC .. the problem is that how to make one of them the active HOSTID .. so as when you issue (lmhostid) is directly shows ..
