Using an internal domain name?

I need to transfer a license to an internal server name. It’s not an fully-qualified domain name, it’s something like this:

sfc-app-456

This is for tracking stats on an intranet, so the name of the server is an internal name. It will never be accessed from the outside.

The “Transfer License” interface refused to take my server name. It keeps asking for a “valid domain name.”

What to do?

From my response to your email regarding this matter:

Mint cannot be installed on an invalid domain name (an IP address or internal server name). If you can access your internal domain via localhost (using a web browser on the actual server or via a tool like VNC) Mint will auto-activate (a feature intended for development and testing on a local machine).

You could also install Mint on a web-accessible, valid domain (after transferring the license) and use that installation to track your intranet.

I need to do the same thing, although I’m slightly confused by the above.

Does anybody have experience of doing this? And whats the easiest way?
