In order to create installation codes for many licence types in the COMSOL product family, your COMSOL sales person will ask you for some information. COMSOL creates installation codes utilising the FlexNet Publisher licencing system, which includes the HostID and server name, as well as maybe other information about your system. The server name is the computer's network name, which can be anything from a name to a number.(for example, bart), a fully qualified domain name (for example, bart.simpson.com), or an IP address (for example, bart.simpson.com) (130.243.43.3). The Ethernet Network Interface Card's HostID is its physical hardware number (NIC). The Ethernet address or MAC-address is another name for the HostID (Media Access Control address).
Follow the steps to get HostID on windows
- First open the command line by pressing Keyboard shortcut Win + R. Click on search field to put insertion point and type cmd and press Enter
- Now Type ipconfig/all at the command line and press Enter
- The Physical address is same as the Host ID. You can report this Host id to sign a license file
-
- The Host name is the same as the server name. The host name can be used for easy handling. But it is not essential to get the license file.
