Host configuration

KDB licenses (k4.lic) are tied to the hostname of a machine and specifically the hostname in FQDN (.) format. When run on a machine which is incorrectly configured you will get a host error when running the q binary.

For more information on kdb+ license errors see code.kx.com

In order for kdb+ to run, the hostname in the license file must match the hostname of the box.
