How to find out machine name and IP address?

As you need the machine name and IP address in order to request a valid license, you need to know how to find out the information. There are several ways to find out the name and the IP address of your machine.

The easiest way is from a command window. To open a command window, click Start -> Run, then in the Open box, type cmd, and click OK. In the command window, type hostname to see the name of your machine, and type ipconfig to see the IP address of your machine.

You can also find out the machine name by right-clicking My Computer (on the desktop or on the Start menu), and then choose Properties, then click on the Computer Name tab.

If you cannot see My Computer on your Start menu, right-click the Start button, click Properties, click the Start Menu tab, click the Customize button. Another dialog window shows. On this window, click the Advanced tab. In the middle part about Start menu items, scroll down to find My Computer, then choose either Display as a link, or Display as a menu. Click OK to exit.

UniPrint license

All UniPrint products are available for free download. When you download any of these products, they are fully functional except that there is a banner / watermark printed diagonally across the printout. (The only exception is UniPrint client software, which is a complementary product to the core products.)

You can request a temporary license that expires in a predetermined date, usually within 30 or 60 days. With the temporary license, you can evaluate the UniPrint product of your interest, and it behaves exactly the same as the fully licensed version. When you are ready to order, you need to call a reseller or a distributor to get a license key.

The steps in applying a temporary license for evaluation is the same as applying a regular license. You will receive in email, as attachment, a license key in the form of a text file with file extension .txt. You will have to rename the extension to a .reg registry file. Some email server or client programs are very vigilant about receiving .reg file as attachments that they may strip off the attachment altogether. That is why the license key file will be sent as plain text file, and you’ll have to rename it back to .reg file.

You need to save the renamed .reg file onto the machine where UniPrint Server is installed. Then you just need to double-click the file to put the license in place.

This applies to the Server-based Computing (SbC) core products up to and including version 6.1.5. Licensing for other products will be discussed in another article.
