The HOSTID_MATCH_RATE directive specifies the percentage of hostids that must match for successful hostid verification. When locking your software to multiple hostid values, you can allow the software to run when, for example, only half of the hostids are valid.

To use HOSTID_MATCH_RATE you need to define an xml license template file, for example:

<CLIENT_HOSTID>
<SETTING ETHERNET="123..."/>
<SETTING HOSTNAME="ALPHA1"/>
</CLIENT_HOSTID>
<SETTING HOSTID_MATCH_RATE="50"/>

This example specifies two hostids and a match rate of 50%, which means that the license is valid for checkout if either the ETHERNET or HOSTNAME hostid matches the set values.

Setting HOSTID_MATCH_RATE to 0 (zero) disables hostid verification. The calculated match rate is rounded down to the nearest full percentage.
