I like how quickly this thread went from a Mac question to how awful
it is upgrading to Windows 7. CNET has a 10 minute (time lapsed)
tutorial about what you have to do. I'm going to kiss my Mac,
again...

I had the same problem as Ben on one of the MacBook Pros that I
administer. ITTVIS didn't do a great job of testing their license
server on Snow Leopard and did not take into account how node names
were assigned in Mac's unique flavor of Unix.

The third time I called tech support about this issue I used my
outside voice and they finally made a license file for me that doesn't
require a hostnmae. It locks into the MAC address for your machine.
I don't know why node locked licenses or flexible user licenses (my
favorite) don't do this automatically.

My advice, if your IDL maintenance contract is current then call tech
support and have them fix your license file so it only needs your MAC
address. They can do it, but you may have to ask for it specifically.

Cheers,
