    From console of machine, open dos prompt and run

    ipconfig /all

    That will give a screen full of info, including the physical address (the
    MAC address) and IP address...

  3. Hi,

    do you need MAC address for Network License? If yes you need to run LMTOOLS
    and check not MAC address, but Ethernet address.

  5. In most cases I think you are better off using IPCONFIG /ALL. This is
    because it tells you more about the MAC addresses it finds in your system.
    This can be important in choosing the MAC address you use to obtain a
    license against. If the MAC address is associated with a logical device
    then the license will fail if the logic changes. If you have a choice,
    choose a MAC address associated with a removable Ethernet adapter. This way
    you can move the adapter to a new machine and reuse your license file in the
    event of a system failure.
