Incorrect Host

When attempting to start the license server, mgcld returns a message that the server has the wrong host ID.

Solution

Table 1. Causes and Solutions
Cause	Solution
You are running the license server on the wrong machine.	Verify the host ID. On Linux, use lmutil lmhostid, and on Windows, use LMTOOLS. If the host ID does not match the host ID in the license file, contact Mentor to acquire a new license file.
The hardware key driver is not installed or the key is not plugged in.	Install the hardware key driver and make sure the key is plugged in.
A file descriptor issue occurred. After the file descriptor error message, the server debug log file reports the following: `7:01:14 (mgcld) Wrong hostid on SERVER line for license file: 7:01:14 (mgcld) SERVER line says 0019b949c1fc, hostid is (Can't get hostid of type 2 [])`	Do one of the following: Increase the file descriptor limit for the user account that runs the license server processes. Request to have your licenses split, and host some of your licenses on a second license server to reduce the load.
