Determining Host Identification

You need to determine host identification in order to successfully complete licensing of your Innovator installation. You need to determine this using the Innovator version that you want to activate the licenses for.

Computer-Based License Repository

Your Innovator installation licensing has been specially designed for your license server computer. In order to have a unique identification of this computer, you must determine a special character string: host identification. You should send this along with your order for products, programming languages, profiles, add-ons and platforms to MID GmbH.

Determining Host Identification for the License Server Computer

Prerequisites

Attention

You first need to install Innovator in the version you want to activate the licenses for. If you do not do this, host identification will be invalid and the license repository will not be accepted for the license server computer.

Start the license server and the Administration Program on the computer on which you want to run the main license server.

Context

Some fonts contain characters that can hardly be distinguished from each other (e.g., 1, l and I). It is therefore advisable to send the host identification immediately to MID in an e-mail.

E-mail transfer may be supported by an automatic e-mail function in your system. In that case, the only thing you need to do is to select the E-Mail command. This way you can easily avoid any kind of misunderstanding.

How to proceed

Select License>Main License Server>Host Identification.

The dialog of the same name appears.

A unique character string is displayed in the dialog. This is the host identification for your license server computer.

Alternatively, you can also determine the host identification on the main license server computer in the Innovator 16.0 installation directory with the inolsrv -h command.
To create an e-mail with the displayed information, click on E-Mail.

An e-mail with the information from the dialog is created with your system's standard e-mail application.
Add information as required, particularly your order and sender information.
Send the e-mail to auftragsbearbeitung@mid.de.

Alternatively, send the information to the address below. If you choose to use the traditional postal service, make sure that the project ID can be clearly read.

MID GmbH
Order Processing
Kressengartenstrasse 10
90402 Nuremberg / Germany

Based on this, MID GmbH will generate a computer-specific license repository and send it back to you.

You can now activate the licenses on the main license server.
