Find a host name and ID on Windows, macOS, or Linux

Find Host Name and ID with LMTOOLS on Windows

    1. While logged in with Administrator rights on a local computer, click All Programs > Autodesk > Network License Manager > LMTOOLS Utility.
    2. In the LMTOOLS utility, click the Systems Settings tab.
    3. Locate the Computer/Hostname box. This box contains the host name.
    4. Locate the Ethernet Address box. The 12-character address is the host ID.
Note: If your server has more than one Ethernet adapter, select one that corresponds to a physical network adapter.
  1. Close LMTOOLS.

Find Host Name and ID from Windows Command Prompt

    1. Launch Windows Command Prompt.
    2. Enter ipconfig /all.

      A long list of configuration data appears on the screen.

    3. From the Windows IP Configuration section, record the host name.
    4. From the Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection section, enter the physical address, but eliminate the dashes. This is your 12-character host ID.
Note: If your server has more than one network adapter, select the one that corresponds to a physical network adapter. View the Description field above each physical address. If there is more than one physical network adapter, it does not matter which one you use. Devices such as VPN adapters, PPP adapters, wireless or Bluetooth devices are not valid.
  1. Close Windows Command Prompt.

Find Host Name and ID on macOS or Linux

  1. Launch a Terminal window.
  2. Go to the folder where lmutil is installed.
