Why each option
To obtain a new license for a system, a unique system identifier containing hardware-specific details, often referred to as a "dossier" by some vendors, must be submitted to the license server.
A system's dossier is a unique, system-generated identifier that contains crucial hardware-specific information, such as the serial number or platform ID. This dossier is submitted to a vendor's license server to generate a new license key that is specifically bound to that particular system.
A system's hostname is a configurable identifier and is not a stable, unique hardware identifier required for license generation.
Sending an existing base license would not facilitate the generation of a new license, as the purpose is to provide hardware-specific identifiers for binding.
A purchase order number is a commercial identifier for the transaction and does not contain the technical system-specific details needed to generate a license key.
