OK, I'd thought that the HWID was specific to that
particular CPU board
such
as it is on a Sun Sparc.
Well it's specific in that a MVII will not ahve the same number as MVIII.
However, some 3rd party vendors use licensing schemes
based on the MAC
Address of the ethernet board. I know on Linux/x86 this can be changed.
Can this be changed on VMS? My previous incorrect scenerio holds true
if
you're running software such as this.
Would work maybe. VMS can change MAC and I believe it does for DECNET.
