Hi Titu,

The machine identification number in the uname comand output cannot be changed by anyone except HP service and authorized persons and it unique to every computer .This number is a combination of the serial number, the CPU type and family. It is provided by HP to allow licensing software to uniquely identify the system.

see the below thread ..

hi,

i think you migrate a software to another box. so ask your vendor to supply you new licence.
