Your Host ID can be obtained in a number of ways depending on which Host ID you use, and the type of software installed on your system. 

One way to obtain your Host ID on Windows is by entering the MS-DOS "ipconfig" command:

...

    Connection-specific DNS Suffix. . : xsj.xilinx.com
    Description . . . . . . . . . . . : 3Com 10/100 Ethernet Adapter

Host ID

For LINUX platforms, the Host ID is of the following format (the same as for Windows):

Ethernet (Physical) Address ( example: 12-ab-34-56-78-90 )
Format: a series of six 2-digit hexadecimal numbers with dashes "-" in between them.

You can obtain your Host ID on LINUX is by entering the /sbin/ifconfig command:

...

    eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:23:5F:2D:36
   
    ...

For Unix platforms, the Host ID is and 8-digit hexadecimal number:

Host ID    ( example: 1234abcd )
Format: 8 digit hexadecimal number

For a typical configuration, you can determine your Host ID by entering the following shell command (contact your system administrator if you have any problem in identifying your host id):

Windows Users:

You should install your licenses to the drive where your HOMEDRIVE environment variable points, using any unzipping utility (e.g. WinZip). The emailed license .zip archive contains the requested license keys in a specific directory structure, so be sure to preserve the directory structure of the .zip file when extracting its contents. (In WinZip, this is done by making sure that the "Use folder names" checkbox is checked.)

To determine your HOMEDRIVE value, enter the following MS-DOS command:

Solaris and Linux Users:

Install your licenses to your HOME directory. For a typical configuration, you can determine your HOME directory by entering the following shell command:

# Navigate to your home directory
unix-shell> cd

# Extract the licenses
unix-shell> unzip core_licenses.zip

Windows: The installed license files have ".lic" extensions and should be located in:

C:\.Xilinx\Coregen\CoreLicenses\   (Note the "." prefix in the "Xilinx" folder name)

Solaris and Linux: The installed license files have ".lic" extensions and should be located in

~/.Xilinx/Coregen/CoreLicenses/
