Managing licenses

Finding a Host ID

Each license file installed on the server is associated with a Host ID on the server, which is the physical address (MAC
address) of a network adapter in the load balancer without hyphens or other punctuation. During installation, the
Host ID is shown by clicking Activate and Download License File(s). If you do not have access to the installation
files, or if you have multiple Host IDs and want to determine which is associated with the network adapter connected
to the same network as your printers, use the following procedure:
1
Click , or click Start and then click Run.
2
In the Start Search or Run box, type cmd.
3
Press Enter, or click OK.
The Command Prompt window appears.
4
Type ipconfig /all, and then press Enter.
Detailed networking information appears.
5
If you want to use the Host ID associated with the network adapter connected to the same network as your LDD
system, determine the correct network adapter using the Description and IP Address.
Note: The Host ID of any listed network adapter is appropriate for creating license files as long as the associated
network adapter remains in the server. However, using the Host ID associated with the network adapter
connected to the same network as your LDD system may help avoid future confusion.
6
Write down the Physical Address shown with the selected network adapter, removing the hyphens, and store it
in a safe place for use as the Host ID in the Lexmark Licensing Portal.
