Code:

a)    Obtain the two jail mac addresses:
ifconfig -a
b)    Create the following two 'address' files (and relevant directories if they don't exist) and add the corresponding mac address to each:
/sys/class/net/ether/address         (contains for example 0e:c4:7a:xx:xx:xx)
/sys/class/net/hwaddr/address          (contains for example 02:cc:01:x:xx:xx)

There is a change in MinimServer update 190 (and subsequent updates) that enables MinimServer 2 licensing to work without the user creating these files.
