7710 - How to solve an "invalid host" error despite having a seemingly correct license file with the correct MAC address?
Lattice tools employ FlexNet Publisher (FNP) license management technology. When FNP licenses are generated, they are locked to a specific machine by using the FNP host ID.
The FNP host ID of a machine is typically the MAC address of the primary network interface on that machine.
The best way to recover a machine's HostID is to use the 'lmhostid' tool from the FlexNet utilities package:
In Windows Command Prompt, change directory to the path where "lmutil.exe" is saved. It is typically in C:\lscc\radiant\2024.2\ispfpga\bin\nt64
C:\lscc\radiant\2024.2\ispfpga\bin\nt64>lmutil lmhostid
C:\FlexNet\install_dir>lmutil lmhostid
lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2023 Flexera. All Rights Reserved.
The FlexNet host ID of this machine is ""81c645fec657 9ecbe866f889 0d43b0c0da55""
Only use ONE from the list of host IDs and request license with this host ID.
