I would like to ask how licensing works on multiple instances? Suppose that I have an application that I bought earlier, and I have a lincese key to run it. I install this application to the basic AMI, then i enter the license key, and I boundle this instance to a new AMI. I need 5 instances from this AMI. If I run 5 instances from this AMI, then I will have 5 instances, but I have a license key for only 1 instance. So how does it work legally? I need to create 5 AMI using 5 different license key, and then create 1 instance from each AMI?

thanks for the answer

  1. It depends on the license which governs your Operating System. Here, each instance corresponds to an installation. If your license is for installation on 2 machines, then you can use the license key to run 2 instances simultaneously. Likewise, you can run only one instance if you have a license key which is valid for one installation.

    In your case, yes, you need 5 one installation licenses or one 5 installation instances to run 5 instances at the same time.

    You may also want to take a look at OEM or bulk licenses if you need to run many instances.

    Hope this helps.
