Composite HostID using HOSTID_ETHER w/No Nic. Card Installed
My current composite key is made up of the following:
int hostid_list[] = {HOSTID_DISK_SERIAL_NUM, HOSTID_ETHER};
Depending on whether or not the nic. card is enabled/disabled, I get back a different 12-character hex string.
My question is, when there is no nic. card enabled/installed, what is the behavior of when lc_init_simple_composite, and more importantly, what is the behavior when lc_checkout is called? Is the HOSTID_ETHER part of the composite key used or is it ignored?

From a test calling lc_init_simple_composite with a hostid type not supported on the test system (specifically HOSTID_FLEXID6), lc_init_simple_composite returns error code -127, LM_COMPOSITEID_ITEM_ERR, "An item needed for composite hostid is missing or invalid."

That's odd, I'm not getting an error back. I'm using a box with absolutely no NIC installed. Hmm, I wonder what is going on.
I also find it rather weird that the signature for the license file is different based on the number of Virtual Machines w/bridged networks that are installed on the box.

What does the lmhostid utility return if you run it on the machine which doesn't have a NIC card? If that utility returns some ethernet value that is probably what's being used for HOSTID_ETHER.
Can you elaborate a little more on the second question?

I ALWAYS get a 12-hex string. I never receive an error.
Also, this 12-hex string changes based on what bridged networks I have enabled that are used for Virtual Machines and/or Hamachi.
