NAME

i4target - Returns the local LicensePower/iFOR target id.  

SYNOPSIS

i4target

i4target [ -h ] [ -O ] [ -V ] [ -o ] [ -l ] [ -v ]  

DESCRIPTION

i4target is used to find the target ID that can be used by LicensePower/iFOR for locking licenses to a particular system.

To create LicensePower/iFOR licenses for an application, an application supplier will need the target ID of the machine where the LicensePower/iFOR licenses will be installed. The target ID tool (i4target) should be run on the machine where you want to identify an LicensePower/iFOR target ID. For server-based licensing, this will be the machine that is executing the license server (i4lmd) where you plan to install this application supplier's licenses. For nodelocked licensing, this will be the system where the application will be executing.

The algorithm that is used to identify an LicensePower/iFOR target ID may vary depending on operating system platform.

For example: On an NEC system the targetid is derived from the command (/usr/necbin/getsystemid).

For example: On an HP-UX machine licenses managed by the i4lmd (concurrent and use once licenses), the LicensePower/iFOR target ID is derived from the link level address of the LAN card accessed by the device file /dev/i4target on the machine that is running the i4lmd. If /dev/i4target does not exist and the super-user is executing i4target, i4target will create /dev/i4target. On an HP 9000 Series 700 or 800, the device file will be for the lan0 LAN card. This is the same method used by the i4lmd for determining the LicensePower/iFOR ID of the machine on which it is executing.

On HP-UX, for LicensePower/iFOR nodelocked licenses, the LicensePower/iFOR ID is derived from:

*
The LAN card accessed by /dev/i4target, or
*
The built in SPU ID number, or
*
An HIL ID Module.
 

OPTIONS

-v
List the LicensePower/iFOR target IDs from each of the possible sources. i4target lists the link level address of the installed LAN cards and allows the super-user to select an alternate LAN card. This is to allow changing the IO slot where a LAN card is installed without losing the use of LicensePower/iFOR licenses locked to that LAN card.
 

RETURN VALUE

i4target always returns 0.  

DIAGNOSTICS

Messages displayed during execution are self-explanatory.
