Preparing a node-locked uncounted license. How can I forbid Virtual Machines?

[tkflex]

Hi,

I am preparing licenses for use with linux environments. I have no problem using lmcrypt to prepare a node-locked license with the ID

HOSTID=<ethernet address>

Similarly, I can use

HOSTID=ETHER=<ethernet address>

However, I would like to also forbid the use of virtual machines. When I am preparing a counted license for a license server, I use the ID

PHY_ETHER=<ethernet address>

but this throws an error when I add it to my node-locked uncounted license, as does HOSTID=PHY_ETHER=<ethernet address>

Is there a way I can forbid Virtual Machines?

Hi @tkflex Can you please try with 

HOSTID="<VM_UUID-value>" or HOSTID=VM_UUID=<VM_UUID-value> 

let me know if this helps?. 

Best Regards,

Hi @tkflex ,

To restrict usage to physical machines set the keyword VM_PLATFORMS=PHYSICAL 

 Thanks,
