When Implementing the Licensing API How to Identify that a VM has been copied to another Host.

Hello,

I'm currently working with the Licensing API (Java) and need help trying to figure out how to identify if a Virtual Machine has been copied to a new Host hardware.

After a successful login to the HASP class I call the .getInfo() method using this scope xml:

1. <haspscope>
2.   <license_manager hostname="localhost" />
3. </haspscope>
   

I and I use the with this xml for format:

1. <haspformat root="hasp_info">
2.    <feature>
3.       <attribute name="id" />
4.       <attribute name="locked" />
5.       <attribute name="expired" />
6.       <attribute name="disabled" />
7.       <attribute name="usable" />
8.       <attribute name="vmenabled" />
9.   </feature>
10. </haspformat>
    

I receive back as an answer:

1. <hasp_info>
2.   <feature id="0" locked="true" expired="false" disabled="false" usable="true" vmenabled="true" />
3.   <feature id="12" locked="true" expired="false" disabled="false" usable="true" vmenabled="true" />
4. </hasp_info>

This result is returned regardless if I run the application on the original VM or when I copy the VM to another host and run it there.

I must be able to identify that the host computer has changed, and I need to know the proper method to identify this change.
