SySAM: Invalid host. The hostid of this system does not match the hostid specified in the license file. Unserved licenses can only be used on the host for which the license was generated. If the license is intended for use on this machine then you need to check-in the license and regenerate it using the host id for this machine.

cpuinfo: Hostid = aabbcc112233  ... (more hostids may be reported)
License hostid: aabbcc112233  ...

• The hostid is used in the license file:

# License for aabbcc112233 my_ase_hostname
