HostID is hardware dependant only ?

kikoun

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).

    Hi,

    Is anybody could confirm that HOSTID is only  hardware dependent , or if it's OS dependent ?

    Hi Guillaume,

     

    I found out, the HostID is strictly hardware dependent. The OS doesn't

    play into the calculation of the HostID

    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.

    That a great news for me, and now I'm OK for renewing my license because this mean that I could update my linux os without trouble.

    Thank you Jorge for your help.

     

    If I understand what Asko wrote, It's also mean that on my laptop, on witch I have a double boot linux Suse/ XP 32, I will have the same hostID  for both OS ?

    It's doesn't matter anyway if it doesn't, because I rarely use XP, but this will confirm that it really OS independent.
