Yes. You can lock LM-X to your hardware device by specifying a custom hostid and using the LMX_HOSTID_CUSTOM hostid type together with LMX_Hostid or LMX_HostidSimple to retrieve the LM-X hostid. For this to work, you must write a custom hostid callback function as shown in the hostid example that comes with LM-X, and then register this function using:
LMX_SetOption(LmxHandle, LMX_OPT_CUSTOM_HOSTID_FUNCTION, (LMX_OPTION) MyHostid);
After registering the custom callback function, LMX_Hostid and LMX_HostidSimple will call the function and retrieve the LM-X hostid. Note that the LM-X Config Tool and LM-X End-user Utility will not print out custom hostids. To let users send back custom hostids, you must make your own hostid utility and send it to users.
