\uc1\pard\cf1\lang1033\ulnone\f0\fs20 Hostid in the format 0xabcdefgh has the advantage of being independant of the Ethernet address of the firewall - ie no licensing issue if you redeploy the firewall or change ISPs.\par
\par
If you need to change servers, for example on a hardware failure, or even for test purposes, when setting up the firewall on a different server, before shipping it out, then the ethernet address (in format ..xxx.xxx) is very useful.\par

Hi !\par
\par
I have found information about this on chekpoint web page:\par
\par
Host ID / IP address - Enter one of the following : \par
A registered IP address of the external interface of the machine. Enter the\par
address in a dot notation (for example, 129.21.1.1). \par
For Sun workstations running SunOS 4 or Solaris 2, enter the output of the\par
'hostid' command, prefixed by '0x' (zero-X). \par
For HP workstations running HP-UX, enter the output of the 'uname -i'\par
command, prefixed by '0d' (zero-D). \par
For IBM workstations running AIX, enter the output of the 'uname -m'\par
command. \par
If you change one of the initially listed host ID's or IP addresses, a move\par
license request will be submitted. \par
\par
I have tried it and it works.\par

In the past, I think you had your choice. That is,\par
license with IP address *or* the hostid. I used my\par
hostid.\par
\par
For v4.x -- I couldn't get license.checkpoint.com to\par
take my hostid (perhaps I wasn't entering it in the\par
format CP wanted. I tried several). I've been using my\par
IP address instead.\par
