machine identification number

[Darren_25]

Hi,
Could anyone help me that how to change or modify the machine identification number
(uname -i), thanks.

You can't and also it could be illegal. It can only be changed by a HP CE when there is a hardware replacement. Here is another posting, of the same question.

Hi,
you can't change the machine identification number.
In uname you can't change any other option except nodename (uname -S)

Hi Darren,

Machine identificationa number is unique with each machine. You cant change this.
Only when you replace the base board, it will get changed.

You can not change the machine identification number as its specific to the machine for that reason only its used to lock the software licences with the machine ID.

Hi all,
I want to migrate my software from k420 to C180 but the company of this software was out of support and disappear so I can't register a new license, and this software is tied by machine identification number,well how will I do, thanks.

I am sorry but it doesn't seem that you have an option.
Either debug the program and see where it encrypts the licence or you'll have keep this appliction on this machine itself.
