You can also determine the system host ID with a Linux command:
1Log in to the server as root.
2At the prompt, enter cd /opt/3com/VCX/presconf/tools/license
3Enter ./hostid
The Host ID is displayed. For example: 3157ecf668ffcb7dc7f00e4c
Please note that the ./hostid command you enter in the license directory is not the same as the hostid command normally used with Linux (/usr/bin/hostid).
