# Computer Information

The DANTE software supports floating license and node-locked license. The MAC address and computer/server name for the designated computer (server) is required for DANTE to generate the license keys. The MAC address can be obtained by running the following commands in a DOS command window.

***lmhostid*** or ***ipconfig*** on Windows platform

***lmhostid*** or ***ifconfig*** on Linux platform

***lmhostid*** can be accessed from the downloaded DANTE package, ***ipconfig*** comes with Windows OS, and ***ifconfig*** comes with Linux OS.

*lmhostid* *is the preferred command to obtain the computer MAC address, and the command is recommended to run from command prompt. **"ipconfig" and "ifconfig" may give multiple MAC addresses, which could be incorrect.***

Below is an example to run lmhostid command from Windows command prompt. (use cd command to change the directory where lmhostid.exe is stored, and execute the command “lmhostid”

***lmhostid***

“ipconfig -all” command can be executed in any windows command directory ( “> computer\_info.txt” can be added to the command to store the results to this file instead of showing on the screen)

***Ipconfig –all > computer\_info.txt***

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://dante-solutions-inc.gitbook.io/dante-6.3-help-documentation/readme/installation/computer-information.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
