RE: [FW1] checkpoint licensing question on UNIX

["LISOWSKI,WOJCIECH (HP-Poland,ex1)" <wojciech_lisowski@FW1-NOSPAMhp.com>]

Hi !

I have found information about this on chekpoint web page:

Host ID / IP address - Enter one of the following : 
A registered IP address of the external interface of the machine. Enter the
address in a dot notation (for example, 129.21.1.1). 
For Sun workstations running SunOS 4 or Solaris 2, enter the output of the
'hostid' command, prefixed by '0x' (zero-X). 
For HP workstations running HP-UX, enter the output of the 'uname -i'
command, prefixed by '0d' (zero-D). 
For IBM workstations running AIX, enter the output of the 'uname -m'
command. 
If you change one of the initially listed host ID's or IP addresses, a move
license request will be submitted. 

I have tried it and it works.

In the past, I think you had your choice. That is,
license with IP address *or* the hostid. I used my
hostid.

For v4.x -- I couldn't get license.checkpoint.com to
take my hostid (perhaps I wasn't entering it in the
format CP wanted. I tried several). I've been using my
IP address instead.
