This Installation Code combines the Hostname with the UNC pathname (details).
Pros/Cons
+ Works in single user and network environment
+ Good within a network because the hostname must be unique
+ Allows only one installation on one machine
- After reinstallation of Windows, the hostname changes
Recommendation
•Use it when you have a server application
•Should be used for enterprise users which have problems using the installation code with the MAC address + UNC path (code 6)
This code is ideal for an application, which only runs on the server as it prevents multiple installations on the same server and seldom causes a problem
This code results in a copy protection error if the applications is started on the server AND on the workstation. It only works if the server is used as a dedicated server. Use code 1-3 in case of an problem.
