Thanks for the replies.
Before receiving them, we started down the following path which is not
ideal, but works for now.
1. Disabled motherboard network adapter in BIOS
2. Installed SuSE Linux 10.0
3. Configured NIC used for licensed software in YaST
This make the NIC MAC ID linked to eth0 and the software associates the
license file containing that MAC ID with the correct NIC MAC ID.
We had the luxury of this approach because we had not yet started using the
system. Obviously, we'll need to study the recommendations we obtained from
you guys to make changes in the future.
Thank you very much!
Arif
