You may create a Visual LANSA runtime key that is tied to an Azure or AWS account ID instead of a specific VM. Any VM running in that Cloud account with the license file installed will pass the license check.
Visual LANSA with EPC150070 installed and patch EPC150070HF_241119 applied may be used to generate a license that’s tied to the Cloud account ID. As part of this implementation, the license file will need to be deployed in a Cloud image or virtual machine. You will have multiple options for deployment.
If you have two or more Cloud accounts for the same Cloud provider, all files can either be installed in the one Machine Image so that it may be used in either account, or the file(s) could be deployed with the application. Any Cloud instance running in the account will be licensed, as the license is locked to the account ID. The same license file will be used for all Cloud VM instances in an account.
The number of licensed instances will be defined in the licensing contract.
Overview of Process
Below are the steps for installation:
- Customer obtains the x_cpu.exe executable from the specified LANSA version and copies it to a VM in the Cloud Account, and generates the Hardware Definition File for each Cloud account ID and region (location) that they require to be licensed.
- The LANSA Sales Contact generates the Cloud Account ID License File(s) and sends them to the customer.
- The Customer installs the Cloud Account ID License File(s) in a Cloud image or Cloud VM.
