HostID is hardware dependant only ?

Question

Hello, As I said in the post ' New eagle licensing -> goodbye Eagle ', I'm ready to purchase my V7 upgrade but only if I'm sure that the hostID is only link to the hardware and will not change if I install a new linux version. So my question is simple: My computer run with linux, opensuse 13.1. In November, the opensuse 13.2 will be ready. Will the HOSTID change if I install this new OS on the same computer (usually I do not proceed with an simple update, I prefer to format "/" disk, and preserve only the /home disk).

The OS doesn't play into the calculation of the HostID hth, Jorge Garcia I second. Same hardware works with different OS:es. Ok, I have tested it only Windows x32, x64, Debian Wheezy. Code may differ, but it has nothing to do with the Operating System. Yes exluding CPM, iRMX, HPUx, etc... I am sure license DO NOT work with XenServer either WMWare, but the multiple user license server may installed at them. Have a look the license model http://www.linqpad.net/Purchase.aspx#Multi Single license for three computers, license code checked via net, when activating. Possibility to transfer any of those license to the new hardware twice per year. Need no net connection when using software. Thank You Joseph Albahari, because Your licensing model is just as good as Your LINQPad. Used to use that everyday. I am working with two laptops and a desktop, Eagle license before 7, was suitable for hobbyist like me. Now I have to buy two licenses, because I am fixing JenDuino schematics, boards and software (At Home, At Play and At Cottage), before I can release it. This comment is only for single user license, the license servers and management is best for the big companies, who has replicated license servers and have > 10 seats. - Asko.
