As i mentioned previously - UNIX code is not my area.

Scott - the links you have posted seems to be relevant but i really don't know what should i do...

Can you please elaborate ?

Maybe in the end i'll succeed to change my hostid - Thank !

As you aren't familiar with this stuff, why not asking the licensed software vendor to provide a solution ?

I'm trying currently to avoid it since this is only a temporarely solution.

Can someone please reply to my question ?
(I could also not use Solaris and then i had no problem - No ? Smilie )

There are several ways to workaround applications locked to a specific hostid. Not every solution works with each of them. What application are you using ? Why do you want to install it on another machine ?

We're working with a dedicated vendor which created a special application for us so i can't really expose the name of the application nor it will be familiar for anyone.
I need to install it on another machine since we need to test in on another environment while the real server is currently unavailable.

Can you specify the several ways of the workaround you are mentioning?
I didn't manage to find even one (at least working).

As I already wrote, you should try to fix the issue with the software vendor. Either he agrees to send you a temporary license for testing or he doesn't and you are asking how to crack a software protection.
