Excerpt

For cloud deployments: if supported by the cloud provider, the VE license server instance can be moved to a different subnet, as long as the original instance can be moved.

It is also possible to backup and restore (to the same instance) the license server data.

However, the following actions will invalidate the license:

  • Cloud and VMware environments:
    • Copying the license server data to a different instance
    • Seriously damaging the root filesystem of the license server system
    • Re-installing the license server system
    • Copying the virtual machine on which the license server runs
  • Cloud environments:
    • Changing the number of CPU cores of the license server system.
  • VMware environments:
    • If the license server is bound to the ESXi host: using vMotion on the VM in which the VE license server runs
    • Changing significant hardware characteristics of the ESXi host or vCenter server to which the license server binds tois bound
