General Licensing: WTFFFFFFFF ?

I found a great post for the dreaded MAC etherenet address is FFFFFFFF.  It's from our fellow blogger: Stephen Blair.

Just before the Christmas break, I had a case where LMTOOLS reported FFFFFFFF as the Ethernet address, even though ipconfig /all showed a valid Physical address for the network adapater. Because of this, the license server wouldn’t start.

FFFFFFFF (eight F’s) is the broadcast address.
