About Hostids
You can choose to restrict application access by hostid so that only permitted hostids would be able to use the
application. A
hostid
is the address of a computer in a TCP/IP network that uniquely identifies it. The hostid could
be the Ethernet address, IP address, machine name, user name, Windows disk serial number, or any other unique
identifier for that machine.
To lock a license file to a specific group of machines, choose the
Restrict access by hostids listed below
option on the
Define Access Page
of the FLEXwrap Assistant, and add
Permitted hostids
to the list.
Changing the Host Name or Port at Install Time
If you want to be able to specify the server location when this application is installed, select the
Allow host name
and port redefinition at install time
option on the
Configure Connection Page
.
If this option is selected, FLEXwrap injects a custom action into the
.msi
file that enables you to set the server
name and port from the command line. For example:
msiexec /i "<path_to_msi_file>\wrapped.msi" SWRAP_LICENSE_FILE=9987@testserver
You would choose this option if you wanted the flexibility to reassign the License Server host name/port at install
time for any reason, such as if you wanted to install the same wrapped application to multiple servers across
different locations at the same organization.
When to Update the Package Code
If you want to automatically update the package code of this wrapped package to differentiate it from the original
package, select the
Update package code
option. By default, this option is selected.
You would want to select this option perhaps if you wanted to import both the wrapped and the original package
into the AdminStudio Application Catalog, which requires the each package to have a different package code. If
you only wanted to import the wrapped package into the Application Catalog, you would not need to select this
option.
