LICENSING NOTE: 0807 rev 11

Changing the Host ID
Changing the Host ID of an existing license file requires a replacement license and is known as
rehosting. Valid reasons for rehosting are as follows:





You have upgraded to a new machine.
You have replaced hardware components in an existing machine, such as the disk drive or
Ethernet card.
You have moved a product from one machine to another within the organization.
You have inadvertently generated a license file using the same Host ID as the previous license
file generated.
You have changed from one type of license to another, such as from a node lock license to a
concurrent license.
Rehosting Policy:
Intergraph Security, Government & Infrastructure will permit a reasonable number of rehosts in a twelvemonth period without review for all customers. Reasonable has been defined to be one (1) per calendar
year per product. If you require more than a single rehosting in a twelve month period you must have the
products covered under a maintenance contract. Intergraph Security, Government & Infrastructure
reserves the right to refuse a rehost request or to charge an administrative fee if the number of rehosts in
any given period is excessive or if the products are no longer on a maintenance contract.
A separate Rehost Request Form is required for each product per Host ID. If you have multiple
products with the same Host ID that are rehosting to the same new Host ID, please use only one Rehost
Request Form and include all product quantities and names. If you have multiple products going to
multiple new Host IDs, please use one Rehost Request Form per Host ID.
Original Host ID:
Due to circumstances beyond your control, you sometimes do not have the original Host ID. You may
obtain the original Host ID by going to the licensing web site, www.intergraph.com/sgi/license. Key in
your LAC, and then click on View License. The list of licenses generated is displayed, and the display
includes the Host ID.
Rehosting Process:
You can obtain the Rehost Request Form by visiting the User Support section of the external SG&I web
page and selecting Licensing Note 0807 (which is located at http://support.intergraph.com/licensing.asp)
