Hello there! This will get a bit longer now, but first of all my main
question: is there any way of changing the Computer ID on a system (by
reinstalling the software or whatever).
Now to my problem...
I'm a working student @ Whirlpool product engineering and went into huge problems with NI Software and Acronis True Image...
In
the semester break I've made a special image for our division and
included a copy of Diadem 11.1 and Diadem 2010. After installing the
images I went into a tricky problem.
Even after changing the
Windows serial and the SID of every system, NI License Manager still
gives me the same computer id for every laptop. Now I have to call NI to get a new generated license for our volume license manager via mac-id for every machine.
After a bit of research I found out that there is a way to solve
the problem by creating a special Diadem installation via VLM network
installer, which got me to some more problems. Our local it division,
which manages the license manager in the building, is on holidays
already and I'm not able to get all the needed information for the NI
telephone support they want (licensing model and so on) 😞
Now I
need to get some more laptops running till x-mas and I've tried to
deinstall every piece of NI software on one of the laptops and
reinstalled them all, but I still get the same Computer ID. The only way
for me now would to make a clean Image of Windows 7 without any Diadem
Software installed which would cost me a lot of time for modifications
of Windows and I'd have to reinstall every laptop in the lab (our
engineers want to have a clean solution for further versions).
Is there any way you know that could help me out?
best regards
Sandokhan Kucic
