The so-called "Seon-ID" is an installation and hardware dependant hexadecimal hash of your system running Seon. Seon needs a valid license which is based on this ID. In order to receive a license, the Seon-ID is the basis for this encrypted file.
retrieving Seon-ID via web interface
In the administrative web interface, click in the left menu on "Tools". The Seon-ID will be displayed in the main screen right under the "backup" options:
If the license file is writable by the web server user, an upload of a valid license is possible via the "choose file" and "upload license" buttons. A pre-check of validity is done before exchanging the license file.
retrieving Seon-ID via command line
The program "seonlic" is used for commandline interaction.
constantly changing Seon-ID
If your Seon-ID is changing sometimes and you're really sure you didn't change the machine configuration, you should check that the name resolving works constantly. This can be done by editing the file
/etc/nsswitch.conf
on most Unix systems and the file
/etc/netsvc.conf
on AIX systems.
In order to obtain the same information every time, you should configure the first host name resolving method as "local" and add a static IP address and hostname for your machine to "/etc/hosts". This should fix your problem.
