Detailed Platform Information
The following sections list the operating systems and their associated hardware platforms supported by FlexNet Publisher. Each platform entry contains the following information:
- Platform name—The name used to identify this platform when using the PLATFORMS keyword in a license file.
- Package identifier—The name used to identify the toolkit package that is downloaded from the software download site.
- Tested compiler—The compiler and version with which this package was tested. Make sure you choose a compiler for your development and build environment that is compatible with the one listed.
- Notes—Additional platform-specific notes that are useful for developing your FLEXenabled product.
- Security functionality—Denotes the level of security functionality your toolkit supports. You will need this information when implementing trusted storage-based licensing into your product. See FlexNet Licensing Programming and Reference Guide for Trusted Storage–based Licensing for complete details.

-
Short code transactions are not supported. On Intel Itanium, use lmhostid utility to determine the hostid. This returns the machine identification and is equivalent to the identification returned by the HP_UX command: getconf CS_PARTITION_IDENT. For example:
>lmhostid
>The FlexNet Licensing host ID of this machine is "ID_STRING=9c788319-db72-d411-af62-0060b05e4c05"
- Older methods of obtaining the hostid which return the Ethernet address are still supported, but may fail on some systems. The older methods include:
>uname -i (returns decimal hostid)
>lmhostid -long (returns hexidecimal hostid)
- Multithreaded licensing code is supported on Intel Itanium
