Finding Your Host ID

What Is a Host ID?

A Host ID is a unique identifier generated from specific hardware or system information on a computer. It is used by software licensing systems to associate a license with a particular device, ensuring that licensed software is used only on authorized systems. When requesting or activating a license, the Host ID enables the software provider to generate a license file that is valid for your computer.
