Some license files are “locked” to a specific hardware device, either a USB key, a parallel prot key, or a computer. This hardware device is identified by its “hostid” (host identification). Depending on the type of hardware device, you”ll find the hostid in different ways.
Note that Activation licenses (introduced with GeoStudio 2012) do not use a hostid.
