In some cases, the ethernet hostid will be unavailable when the network cable is unplugged.

This typically occurs only on Windows and has been seen on recent versions including XP and Vista. This behavior is vendor-specific, depending on how their drivers work. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about this.

If you experience this problem, we recommend obtaining licenses based on a different type of hostid.
