Finding a machine's System ID

A machine's system ID is a unique code required to license products from The Foundry. The Foundry System ID (FSID) utility will report the same system ID of a machine that our software will use when looking for a licence. Select one of the links below to download it.

Getting the System ID for node-locked licences

If you are purchasing a node-locked licence, run the FSID on the machine which the software will be running on.

Getting the System ID for floating and render licences

Floating licences are managed by a machine on your network acting as a licence server. When buying a floating licence, you need to enter the System ID of the machine on your network which will act as the licence server. For more details, read Managing Floating Licences.
