How do I find my server Host ID on a UNIX platform needed to request an Altera license file?

Description

To find your host ID, follow the steps below for your platform:

Sun SPARCstation

Your host ID is an 8-digit hexadecimal number.

Type the following command at a UNIX prompt for SunOS 4.1.3 and lower:

/usr/bin/hostid

Type the following command at a UNIX prompt for Solaris 2.5 and later:

/usr/ucb/hostid

HP 9000 Series 700/800

Type the following command at a UNIX prompt:

/usr/bin/uname -i

Transpose the resulting value into hexadecimal format, and use that value as the host ID.

IBM RS/6000

Type the following command at a UNIX prompt:

/usr/bin/uname -m

You will receive a 12-digit number. Remove the first 2 digits and the last 2 digits; the host id is the middle 8 digits. For example, the number 000276513100 converts to the host id 02765131.

Refer to the documentation for you operating system, or contact your system administrator for more details about these commands.
