If you have been informed by your COMSOL representative that you need to run the FlexNet license manager for your installation, then you also need the Host Name. The Host Name is encircled in the screen shot above. If your network administrator prefers to use a fixed IP address for this particular computer, this IP Address can be optionally used in place of the Host Name. For more information on license manager installation see License Manager Installation on Windows.
If you plan to install on a computer with a wireless network adapter, you need the physical address of both the wireless and the Ethernet adapter. If the COMSOL representative asks you for the hard disk serial number instead of the hostid, type vol at the Windows command line prompt. The output looks like
Send the hostid information, as well as Host Name, if applicable, in an email to your COMSOL representative, who responds with an email including an attached license file (license.dat). Save this file to any location on your computer. You need to refer to it during installation. The license file is a text file and below is an example of the contents of a license.dat file for a Single User License on Windows. This example license file shows that the licensed products are COMSOL Multiphysics, Particle Tracing Module, Subsurface Flow Module, and LiveLink™ for Excel®.
A Single User License file can normally not be edited or changed in any way by the user but has to be identical to the one sent to you by a COMSOL representative. If you were sent a license file that requires a license manager, then minor edits are required. For information on the type of license file required for installations using a license manager, see The License File.
