How to distinguish node licenses from server licenses?

Note:

In general only one type of license is being generated now. Technically, these are Concurrent Use (CU) Licenses or formerly also referred to as server licenses. Depending on the order of the customer these licenses can be generated for one or more users. You need a FLEXlm license manager even if the application is run locally on a single PC. When installing the licensing for 3A-LM-UT, this can be set up automatically as well.

Node licenses are generated only on demand and on request.

Answer:

Node licenses always contain a "uncounted" and "HOSTID=".

Examples:

Node license on disk ID (via lmtools):
- FEATURE 100017 AEDSICAD 8.300 14-apr-2006 uncounted VENDOR_STRING=UT-Intern HOSTID=DISK_SERIAL_NUM=38be2902 ck=158 SIGN=916FDFFA612E
Node license on MAC address of the network card (find out via ipconfig /all)
- FEATURE 100016 AEDSICAD 8.300 16-feb-2006 uncounted VENDOR_STRING=UT-Test HOSTID=000475d884a3 ck=184 SIGN=F316CBC2AC7C
Node license on normal dongle:
- FEATURE 100003 AEDSICAD 8.300 28-sep-2005 uncounted VENDOR_STRING=UT-View HOSTID=FLEXID=8-5E7000C26816 ck=173 SIGN=EDEDE6B8DF64
Node license on USB dongle:
- FEATURE 100003 AEDSICAD 8.300 28-sep-2005 uncounted VENDOR_STRING=UT-View HOSTID=FLEXID=9-1F8AD892 ck=146 SIGN=A66ED002F7EE

(Remember: Always deactivate/delete the Server + Damon line at node licenses.)

Server licenses

Never: 'uncounted' – always a number of licenses
Never: HOSTID= (the hostid always only in the first line)

Example:

SERVER PCUTW2K 0001022109F8 1701
DAEMON AEDSICAD c:\flexlm
FEATURE 100016 AEDSICAD 8.300 31-dec-2005 60 VENDOR_STRING=UT-Test ck=172 SIGN=FCF16544D498
