**Important for Cloud Deployment**:

Before activating the license, ensure all hardware/VM configuration steps that can modify the MAC address (add/replace a Network Interface Controller (NIC) card) are finalized.

The license Host ID depends on the Media Access Control (MAC) address for the device. The MAC address identifies the devices on a network. Changing the MAC address will invalidate the license.
