Know your Server Name, Host ID, Computer Name, Mac Address

Hi friends,

Here some of you are confused in these terms (Server Name, Host ID, Computer Name, Mac Address).

So don't be confused in these terms, because these all are related to nearly all CAD software's. But in UG we always use Server Name or Computer Name.

Some of you are confused for how to know Server Name or Computer Name for your personal computer or any other PC connected to any other network (LAN,WAN etc.)

To know these above terms related to your PC follow these steps as shown in Pic also:

1. Open Command Prompt. (Run>cmd >enter)
2. Type ipconfig/all >enter.
















Here Host Name is your Server Name or Computer Name. Like (Complete_Name)
Physical Address is your Host ID or Mac Address. Like (01-1C-76-99-D5-11)

Note that : Before installing any CAD package you should confirm that your PC have LAN Card driver installed.


and update the first line in your license file in your Pc like this :

Old one :

SERVER this_host ID=20080618 28000

New one :

SERVER prashanth ID=20080618 28000@prashanth

you will only need to replace this_host with your Server Name or Computer Name.
and add @Server Name or Computer Name after 28000 (port value)


For example for the details shown above in the picture, the first line will be like this:

SERVER Computer_name ID=20080618 28000@Computer_name

Hope that your confusion will be solved.
So don't be tense, here is solution for your all CAD problems...........Have a nice day.....

INVALID (INCONSISTENT) LICENSE KEY OR SIGNATURE ERROR

Hi dear friends,

First of all sorry for late reply to all. I am little bg in my other work, and secondly working on the problem commented by you.
(NX LICENSE ERROR: INVALID(INCONSISTENT) LICENSE KEY OR SIGNATURE,
THE LICENSE KEY/SIGNATURE AND DATA FOR THE FEATURE DO NOT MATCH")

now let me explain you my experience on this particular problem.
I myself failed to generate this error, tried too many tricks and methods.

But yesterday one of my friends (Amit) told me that he is facing a problem in ProE Wildfire 4 named: INVALID (INCONSISTENT) LICENSE KEY OR SIGNATURE.

So i reached to his room to find out the reasons behind this error. after working on his PC and the processes to solve this error I was failed to find the real reason which generate this type of error,

But :

final result was satisfactory for us.

and he is happy because ProE Wildfire 4 is working on his PC, properly without any error.

now i don't know what mistake he has done but, I just uninstall the program and reinstall the same with proper license configuration method posted previously here on this blog.

So i will just suggest you that please uninstall the program via Add/Remove Program from your PC.

Reinstall the same software or program by following the proper method of configuration to configure the license file.

hope that your problem will be solved, if not then please let me know via comments.

and please leave some lines of your license file just like this, so that i can check is there any problem in lic. file or not :
