Question
RH6 licensing
Now that RH6 enables command-line generating, we are
incorporating the help generation into our nightly product build.
Our build machine is a virtual machine that occasionally gets moved
from one host server to another. This movement often causes a new
IP and MAC address on the build machine.
In the past I have had RH warn me that a license I was using for the install was already in use on my network, so I know it has tougher license checking than most products. My concern is that the movement of the build machine is going to require deactivating the license and possibly reinstalling RH.
Can someone explain how the license check works? Is it one license tied to a single IP or MAC address, or does the installer simply record the license somewhere and then check the list during each install?
Thank you.
