Obtaining a LUM Target ID
Obtaining a LUM Target ID
An IBM Licence Use Management (LUM) tool is used to supply CATIA V5 with a licence.
Background
It is compatible with supplying CATIA V5 R18, R19, R20, R21 and R22. The licence itself can be CONCURRENT (server based) or NODELOCKED (local machine based). The licence file is generated using a unique key called the Target ID, which is derived from the MAC address of the physical network adapter. In order to obtain the Target ID, a utility can be run. The Target ID must be provided when applying for a new licence and must be of the machine that the licence will be issued for.
