Yeah there is a step by step procedure to generate a key

1.First of all you must have a VM ith linu! " # used $eb #%& '

(.)hange hostname and hostid of that VM to your hostname and hostid of *+,3 VM.

3.%nce its done use )isco#%&eygen.py hich # have uploaded in one of the posts.

./!ecute the file.

here you go. You have your 2icense.

s long as hostname and hostid of the VM is same i.e hostname- gns3-iouvm

hostid- 00000000. 2icense ill remain same. 4ave fun .
