Network Interface Card (NIC) ID

The NIC ID is a 12-character hexadecimal string embedded in the network interface card.

Host ID

The license server Host ID is an 8-character hexadecimal string that identifies a UNIX workstation. Networked (or floating node) licensing requires a NIC number or server host ID. When obtaining a license file for network licensing, you should use the host ID from the UNIX, Windows, or Linux workstation that will issue Intel FPGA software licenses to distributed users over a network. If you do not know your primary server host ID, contact your server systems administrator.

Software Guard ID

A USB software guard ID (or dongles) is a ten-character alphanumeric number beginning with the letter T.

The hard-disk serial number is an 8-character hexadecimal ID that identifies the hard disk.
