Network licenses based in different Ethernet addresses

A license server can have multiple NIC, each one has a different Eth. Address.

LMTOOLS displays in the System Settings, Ethernet address field, the Eth. Address for each NIC present in the system.

Note: When requesting licenses for the same server, you must provide always the same Eth. Address.

If licenses are generated for the same licenses server, based on a different Eth. Address than the one already declared in the license file, the licenses are invalid and the following messages are displayed at different points in the Network License Manager

In the Perform status enquiry window: Users of 85660PDSSTD_F:  (Error: 10 licenses, unsupported by licensed server)

In the debug log file: 0:08:34 (adskflex) Invalid license key (inconsistent authentication code)

As best practice, when ordering new licenses for an existing and running license server, use the Hostanme and Eth. Adress from the first line of your existing license file.

SERVER <HOSTNAME> <ETH. ADDRESS>
