Hi,

I believe it is not possible, but you can go for different licensing method for applications

If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points for "Correct" or "Helpful". Thanks!!!

It will be not possible.

Talk to you vendor, if you can change it in a different way.

Hello,

This is a vendor licensing issue.... CPU ID is not hard to get from the Virtual Machine but it will not be unique per virtual machine, but disk ids are not possible to get. You are not really using a disk but a LUN most likely.... Either case your vendor needs to solve this licensing problem. If they refuse to do so, which is still a problem, I suggest you start looking for another vendor. If this is critical software and that vendor is the only one, then you need to continue to work with that vendor but seriously start looking for someone else that understands virtualization and will work with you.

Some vendors are just a wee bit stubborn.
