Easily manage your Data Integrator licenses using local license control.
Simply obtain licenses from the licensing Web site and save them to the local host where you will install your licensed components.
Obtaining your license files

The License Fulfillment page lists products in your order for which you can generate license files. This page allows you to generate license files one at a time, at your convenience. Only the Job Server licenses require a Host ID for versions 6.5 and higher.
If your computer has more than one network card, include the Host ID for each, separated by a space, to create a node locked license file.
Determining the Host ID for your platform
There are many ways to determine Host ID depending on your computer platform.
Note: For Windows installations, select the Ethernet Host ID type and for UNIX installations, select Long Host ID type.
Save each license file with a *.lic extension in the planned location.
Note: For the Data Integrator installation program to complete successfully, you must point it to the location of the license files associated with the components you are installing.
Platform Sample instructions for determining Host ID
Windows Run autorun.exe from the CD or the Data Integrator directory and click Install. When autorun.exe starts the InstallShield wizard, click Yes to continue. The Host ID displays in the User Information window.
From the installation CD, navigate to the fscommand directory and run lmhostid.exe.
HP Run \unix\hpux1100\lmhostid from the mounted CD or the Data Integrator directory. You can also use the lmhostid -long command for HP-Itanium.
Sun Run \unix\sunos\lmhostid from the mounted CD or the Data Integrator directory.
AIX Run \unix\aix530\lmhostid from the mounted CD or the Data Integrator directory.
Linux Run unix/rh-linux/lmhostid from the mounted CD or the Data Integrator directory.

Re-hosting previously-generated license files
You can change a previously-generated license file to associated it with a different host computer. This process is called re-hosting.
