In regard to: Re: [Networker] Linux upgrades and License Conformance,...:

If you changed hardware, this means you have a new host-id,

Not on Linux, which is the platform Eugene is using.

On Linux the host-id is often based on the IP address associated with
the first NIC in the probe order.  That's not guaranteed to always be
true, but it usually is.

The consequence is that the host-id can change if you change the IP
address of your server, even if you don't change the hardware.  It also
means that as long as you keep the same IP address, you can replace the
hardware without having to do a host transfer.
