How to handle licensing for VMs

One of our customer is purchasing our product as OEM. He will deploy our product with cryptlex licensing modules. He wants to do an offline activation. They use VMs and they will wipe out the VMs on a timely basis and install all the softwares or they will migrate it using vmotion or something periodically. He says he can’t actiavte everytime they migrate. one option is while migrating using vmotion they can retain the mac address. will it work if they do so?

How to handle such requests? is there any way?

Hi,

Your customers just need to create a clone of the VM and move the clone to other machine, as clone retains every info of the hardware.

Retaining the mac address should also work for Linux, provided VM details don’t change.
