virtual machine as named device

asked on April 23, 2015

My employer is looking at saving some licenses by moving away from named users in some settings and using named devices instead.

I'm wondering what having a virtual machine as a named device is going to be like...

If I have to recompose the named virtual machine, will the newly recomposed VM with the same hostname still be recognized by the Laserfiche License Manager as the original named device, or am I going to have to do some kind of maintenance on that every time our VM pools recompose?

Thanks!

The named device uses the network interface MAC address as the key. So as long as that is stable and unique for each virtual machine there shouldn't be a problem. Please note that using a pool of VMs that are assigned named licenses that are shared amongst a larger group of employees violates the spirit of our license agreement. Named devices were intended for scanner stations, kiosks and the like.
