Manually Specifying a Hostid

You can specify the server hostid (a value/type pair) in one of the following ways:

•

Using the FlexNet License Server Administrator using the following option:

-hostid -setactive hostIdValue hostIdType

See the table in section Using the FlexNet License Server Administrator Command-line Tool.

•

Using the FlexNet License Server Manager—see “License Server Properties View” in the FlexNet License Server Manager Guide (available on the Revenera Product Documentation site, https://docs.revenera.com).

•

Using the configuration files (depending on your platform):

•

flexnetls.settings, setting ACTIVE_HOSTID (Windows)—see the table in Configure, Install, and Start on Windows.

•

configuration-local.yaml, setting active-hostid (when using systemd on Linux)—see Edit “local-configuration.yaml” (Linux).

Important:You can only set the hostid using a configuration file if no hostid has yet been specified for the license server. Once a hostid has been set, it can only be changed using the FlexNet License Server Administrator or the FlexNet License Server Manager.

Important:If a server hostid has been set manually, the server.hostType.order and licensing.enableBuiltinHostId properties (if set) are ignored.
