Host Name

What is it?: The Host Name is an alphanumeric string that you or your system administrator use to identify your computer by name. It is used when generating your license file.

How do I get it?:

• Pointwise
• If your license server runs the Microsoft Windows operating system:
• Start Pointwise's license manager utility, lmtools: Start, Programs, Pointwise, License Management.
• Click on the System Settings Tab
• Your server's Host Name is the string in the field labeled Computer/Hostname.
• If your license server runs on a Linux/Mac/Unix operating system:
• Go to the directory where Pointwise was installed. This is commonly referred to as your pwi_home_path.
• Type in the following to run the license control utility script:
  sh ./LICENSE_CONTROL.sh
• Your server's Hostname is the string in the field labeled Hostname
• Gridgen
• If your license server runs the Microsoft Windows operating system:
• Start Gridgen's license manager utility, LMTOOLS: Start, Programs, Pointwise, License Management.
• Click on the System Settings Tab
• Your server's Host Name is the string in the field labeled Computer/Hostname.
• If your license server runs on a Linux/Mac/Unix operating system:
• Go to the directory where Gridgen was installed. This is commonly referred to as your gridgen_home_path.
• Type in the following to run the license control utility script:
  sh ./LICENSE_CONTROL.sh
• Your server's Hostname is the string in the field labeled Hostname

Why are there three fields for entering Host Names(s)?: You may set-up three redundant license servers so that your licenses will still be available in case one computer is unavailable. If you will not be using redundant licenses, you will only enter one Host Name; leave the other two fields blank.
