Domain Controller with new licensing

OS Novell Server.  We currently run fp5.0 Native32 and fpODBC5.0

Can anyone tell me how to set up a Network Domain Controller and still 
get the proper Hard Drive Serial Number for the FilePro Licensing to 
work correctly?

I hope I explained my problem correctly but I will elaborate.

We currently have a Netware Client on the Windows XP/2000 computers that 
need to run fpODBC (new licensing model).

We found that without the Netware Client the Hard Drive Serial Number 
(Mac Address) or whatever it is called that correctly opened the filePro 
license was not available.  It displays 0000-0000 as the serial number.

We are trying to switch to a Domain Controller and eliminate the Netware 
Client from all the clients.

All normal filePro stuff seemed to work just fine, however, on the 
computers that are using fpODBC, the licensing is not working if we 
eliminate the netware client.

Is there any other way to handle this without the netware client?  We 
really want to eliminate this software.

Thanks for the help.
Nancy
