Virtualized UC Licensing – License MAC
The “License MAC” is not the MAC of the NIC in the VM
The “License MAC” is a HASH of a set of data on the server
Data is hashed to produce a 12 digit HEX string that looks like a MAC address
Data Used to Generate License MAC
Time zone NTP server 1 (or ‘none’) NIC speed (or ‘auto’) Hostname IP Address (or ‘dhcp’) IP Mask (or ‘dhcp’) Gateway Address (or ‘dhcp’) Primary DNS (or ‘dhcp’) SMTP server (or ‘none’) Certificate Information (Organization, Unit, Location, State, Country)
GUI when on VMWare
So that TAC knows when they are dealing with a virtualized application…
