Change Solaris hostid

Hi,

I've searched the UNIX forum looking for a simple procedure how to change\control my Solaris server hostid.

I did found few threads but all of them either have broken links to all kinds of scripts or not described simply for some UNIX beginers user like me.

Can anyone assist me?
I need to change temporarily the hostid of my Solaris somehow to overcome some licenses issue.

Code:
# uname -a
SunOS MySun 5.10 Generic_141445-09 i86pc i386 i86pc

Thank you!
