This sort of thing can lead to ridiculous problems.
MATLAB R2013b on Mac OS tried to do something similar. However, it sometimes decided that my hostid was the MAC address of my Ethernet interface, and sometimes my wireless interface (in which case it would reject the license). In the end I resorted to obtaining two license files and manually switching them when necessary.
