This Installation Code combines the Hostname with the UNC pathname (details).

 

 

Pros/Cons

+ Works in single user and network environment

+ Good within a network because the hostname must be unique

+ Allows only one installation on one machine

- After reinstallation of Windows, the hostname changes

 

 

Recommendation

•Use it when you have a server application

•Should be used for enterprise users which have problems using the installation code with the MAC address + UNC path (code 6)

 

This code is ideal for an application, which only runs on the server as it prevents multiple installations on the same server and seldom causes a problem

 

This code results in a copy protection error if the applications is started on the server AND on the workstation. It only works if the server is used as a dedicated server. Use code 1-3 in case of an problem.
