Issue
Is it possible to get Host ID locked licenses for Vista IV?
Environment
TAC Vista IV (Versions 3.30 to 4.50, using the Privilege Licensing system)
Cause
Since virtualization and other non USB/LPT dongle friendly applications are getting more common, a Host ID locked version of Vista IV is requested.
Resolution
Vista IV was withdrawn in the end of 2011. The support is very limited, and Host ID locked licenses are not available. Suggest upgrading site to Vista version 5 where host ID locked licenses are available.
Note: Beginning 2012, PSS will no longer support the Privilege License System. The Tamfs26 Server will be retired along with TAC License Server software. It would be wise to inform the customer of this important information to plan for future upgrade in the event that their site license has issues.
