The so-called "OS4X-ID" is an installation and hardware dependant hexadecimal hash of your system running OS4X. OS4X needs a valid license which is based on this ID. In order to receive a license, the OS4X-ID is the basis for this encrypted file.

retrieving OS4X-ID via web interface

In the administrative web interface, click in the left menu on "Tools". The OS4X-ID will be displayed in the main screen right under the "backup" options:

If the license file is writable by the web server user, an upload of a valid license is possible via the "choose file" and "upload license" buttons. A pre-check of validity is done before exchanging the license file.

retrieving OS4X-ID via command line

The program "os4xlic" is used for commandline interaction.
