How do I get the Host ID for my machine?

 

It is easy to find the Host ID of your computer or server by first downloading and installing the Imagineer product.

Here's what you need to do:

  1. Download the Learning Edition of your required product from our website.

  3. Run the product.
  4. Dismiss the Welcome window and click 'No' when asked if you want to configure the product.
  5. Click 'Help' in the menu bar, then 'View License'.
