Jaggions You question about installing OSX Server 10.6.0 onto clone hardware has many limitations. Mostly you're going to need hardware that is out of production so that means looking for used working equipment. For OSX server Snow Leo I would suggest a P55 hardware platform. P55 means the chipset on the motherboard.
Find the serial number printed on the underside of your Mac, near the regulatory markings. Newest compatible operating system: OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.
I would suggest your search for these terms - os x server 10.6 hackintosh One link that says he has done it is this one So You could do it but the hardware must be as mac compatible as possible and you should have a DSDT file for your motherboard. The one issue is the serial number of the OSX SL server edition - Apple cares about that and its different than a normal desktop or laptop Mac. Also we have very limited knowledge about OSX Server on hacks. So your milage may vary.
I would do some Google searches and see what turns up. As to the Guide you linked above - again this is for normal OSX SL install - its not for Server install. Also as its dated it was made for hardware that was available at the time.
But the steps are similar in most SL installs w the exceptions of SL on Ivy Bridge hardware. So the information is valid but you must remember that your dealing w old software that was not tested for Hackintosh compatibility.
Solution Number: 828 Title: Obtaining a HostID for licensing Platform: All Platforms Applies to: All Products Versions: All versions Categories: Keywords: FlexNet HostID host id Problem Description How do I obtain a HostID for my license file? Solution For many license types in the COMSOL product family, your COMSOL sales representative will ask you for some information in order to create installation codes. COMSOL uses the FlexNet Publisher licensing system to create installation codes using the HostID and server name and possibly more information about your system.
The server name is the network name of the computer, which can be just a name, (e.g., bart), a fully qualified ip-name (bart.simpson.com) or an ip-number (130.243.43.3). The HostID is the physical hardware number of the Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC). The HostID is sometimes called Ethernet address or MAC-address (Media Access Control address). Obtaining the HostID on Windows. First open the command window: Press keyboard shortcut Window button+R, (or, if you have no window button: Click the Start button and Click Run on XP, on Vista and Windows 7 put the insertion point in the search field.). Type in cmd and press Return. Type in ipconfig /all at the command prompt and press Return. The FlexNet HostID is the same as the 'Physical Address'.
This must be reported to your COMSOL representative in order to sign a license file. The server name is the same as the 'Host Name'.

The host name can also be reported to your COMSOL representative for easy handling, but it is not necessary to create the license file. To place the number in the clipboard: Right-click the text and select Mark in the menu, mark with the mouse and press return. You can also type the command getmac /FO LIST /V clip, where /FO contains the letter O as in Oscar.
Then press CTRL+V to paste the output in an editor. HostID for PCs with wireless adapters If you plan to install on a PC with a wireless network adapter, you should report the physical address of both the wireless and the Ethernet adapter. If your sales representative asks you for the C: hard disk serial number instead of the HostID, type vol at the Windows command line prompt (see picture above).
The output will look like Volume Serial Number is 2C9F-5930. Note: this number must be taken from the C: partition. Please send this number to COMSOL. Alternitives for hostid It is possible, but not recommended to use the Host Name for signing of the license file.
Obtaining the HostID on Mac OS X There are two ways to find the HostID on Mac OS X. Via the Network Utility application. Launch the Network Utility application.
In Mac OS X 10.9 and later it is available in the /System/Library/CoreServices/Applications folder, in older versions of Mac OS X it is found in the /Applications/Utilities folder. Select the Info tab on the left. Report the hardware address for both Network Interface (en0) and also Network Interface (en1) if it exists.
These numbers should each consist of 12 characters. Do not select Network Interface (fw0). The HostID is the Hardware Address, see below, with the colons removed. Using System Preferences. Go to System Preferences and select Network. Select the correct Ethernet adapter and click Advanced.
Select the Hardware tab where you will find the MAC address listed. Report the MAC address for both Ethernet 1 and also Ethernet 0 if it exists. These numbers should each consist of 12 characters.
Do not select Firewire. To find the server name, open the Terminal application found in the /Applications/Utilities folder. Type in hostname. This is the current host name of the Mac. This may or may not correspond to the IP Address shown underneath the Hardware Address in the Network Utility, depending on where the Mac gets its IP address and hostname. Optionally, the server name is equal to the IP Address that corresponds to the hostname found from the hostname command. Use the results of the hostname command and enter this host name into the network address to ping field under the Ping tab of the Network Utility.
Press the Ping button, and you'll see the IP address in parentheses after the hostname you typed. Obtaining the HostID on Linux. Open an xterm window. Type in hostname at the command prompt and press Return. The output is the server name. Type in /sbin/ifconfig eth0 at the command prompt and press Return. The HostID is the 12-digit number after 'HWaddr'.
For newer versions of Linux distributions, consistent network device naming has been deployed. This means that the Ethernet adapter can have a different name than eth0.
Run the command without parameters to get all adapters on your machine. Select the one for the Ethernet card. For detailed platform-specific information on obtaining FlexNet HostIDs, please see the table below.
Hardware Platform HostID Type this command on the machine: Example ethernet address ipconfig /all (Physical address, e.g., 00-11-11-4C-C2-BB). Also 0011114CC2BB ethernet address /sbin/ifconfig eth0 (remove colons from HWaddr 00:40:05:16:E5:25) 00400516E525 ethernet address netstat -I en0. Also 00039377F4AC.
