License Server using wrong IP address posted: Mar 13, 2007 8:09 AM

Hi,

I've installed the License Server (from the Virtual Infrastructure v3.0 installation media) on a server that has 3 network interfaces. How can I specify which ethernet address and ip address that the license server starts up on? I've gone into the VMware License Server Tools and it lists the hostid settings, but I cannot change any of them...

Thanks,
Matt

Before test it save your original license file.

Stop the "License server" in Lmtools.

In the license file you will see the entry "SERVER this_host ANY 27000".

You can change "this_host" with your ip address and then start the License server.

In directory c:programms\vmware\vmware license server\docs you can find the explanation to this entry "SERVER..."

Test it on your own risk !

Hi christian,

I was trying to change "this_host" in the license file by an Ip address as you recommended but, I got an error, should I use a specific format for this?? Also, I couldn't find that in the documentation.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks.
