Hey guys,

My hostid changed itself i noticed. Previously i had something like X1A

Now my hostid is X1A-2.local

Why did it change to the latter? Why and how did it change? Because some of my application use a server/ licensing via the hostid.

At first i couldn't figure out why one of my apps/ plugins didn't run anymore, then i noticed that the hostid changed for some reason and i had to update this new one in the apps/plugins license server file.

Anybody know why this happened?
