I think you'll find that you will have to relicense your product.

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me where OS get the hostid for Intel Solaris machine? If I
install Linux on the same intel machine, do I get the same hostid. The
reason that I am asking is that some software license is linked to the
hostid. 

Thanks in advance!
