M1: How to find the C Vol Serial Number and ethernet address?


Problem Description:
Urgency: Hot

General Description: Shown below are procedures to find your C vol serial
number and your ethernet address.


Solution 1:

For M1.3 (i.e., flexlm version 5.0)
The ethernet address is found by opening an MS-DOS session and typing:

<full_path_to_Xilinx_executables>\lmutil lmhostid


If the software has not been installed yet, just run it off the CD like so:

D:\bin\nt\lmutil\lmhostid < This should give you a 12 digit number>

For M1.4 (i.e., flexlm version 5.12)
The Volume Serial Number must be from the C:\drive, even if the software
is to be installed elsewhere. Open an MS-DOS session and type VOL C:

Start->Programs-> (Xilinx / Xilinx Foundation Series which ever applies ) -> FlexLM License Manager
-> Advanced -> Diagnostics

This will give you the information similar to the following :

      Hostid's
      HOSTNAME = <machine name>
      USER = <user name>
      DISPLAY= <machine name>
      INTERNET= <ip address>
             <12 digits ethernet address >
      DISK_SERIAL_NUM= <C volume serial number>
