Regarding our use of docker, here are some specific follow-up questions which will probably be helpful for us (and others) to evaluate whether it's feasible to use the licensed version within docker containers:
1a: Have you internally tested SoapUI within docker containers, including licensing, and verified that no issues are introduced with this approach?
1b: Do you explicitly support, or explicitly do not support, it?
1c: Do you have any documentation on this? (NB: due to the popularity of docker used within test environments, such documentation would probably be useful for many people)
2. Docker containers typically run with a different IP address every time. Is this likely to cause any licensing issues?
3. Test client docker images can be newly recreated on a frequent basis. Would such frequent licence reactivations cause any problems (e.g. raise any fraud alerts)?
4. When (re)creating the test client docker image (which would likely involve a step which activates the licence), there is no capability for us to run a container from the previous docker image in order to deactivate the license before reactivation. Is this likely to cause any issues?
Thanks.
Hello,
Vishal, yes, you are right.
>>>1a: Have you internally tested SoapUI within docker containers, including licensing, and verified that no issues are introduced with this approach<<<
No, docking containers were not tested.
>>>1b: Do you explicitly support, or explicitly do not support, it<<<
We cannot say anything about is as they were not tested.
>>>1c: Do you have any documentation on this<<<
No.
>>>2. Docker containers typically run with a different IP address every time. Is this likely to cause any licensing issues<<<
It should not cause issues but sometimes a license may be corrupted.
>>>3. Test client docker images can be newly recreated on a frequent basis. Would such frequent licence reactivations cause any problems<<<
Yes, the number of deactivations is limited.
>>>Is this likely to cause any issues<<<
Yes, you will lose a license if you do not deactivate it before recreation and will have to contact Customer Care.
