Ready!API Licensing and Jenkins

Hi all,

 

I have been working at length on the QA strategy for my company and have in the past licensed a single key against a static AWS EC2 instance. I wanted to ask here so that there is a clearly communicated answer, if it is ok for me to license and unlicense that 1 key against an ephemeral docker container? As that container will only live for 1 run of the test pack, the license itself will constantly be installed and then uninstalled.

 

I am not wanting to breach any contractual agreements, so I am interested to find out an answer.

 

Just to be clear: Only 1 instance of the license will be registered at any given time. 

 

 

Thank you for any feedback. It is most welcome!

    Thank you for posting to our Community Forum. 

     

    If the "key" that you are referencing is a fixed license, our EULA limits the use to a single user and machine. Therefore it is not a good choice for a container/VM where you would need to move it constantly. 

     

    Our floating license model offers more flexibility. You can move it between users/machines as much as needed.
