Report Logging • Adding activations to FNP 11.x removed nothing, added nothing, to report log content or format • Report logs still contain all served license activity • Served licenses can be loaded either from files or from server-side trusted storage
Virtualization Best Practices • Application • Use concurrent licenses, put no restrictions on application’s machine • Migrate from node-locked licenses, if necessary • License Server • Distribute as a virtual appliance • Set ls_allow_vm=VM_ONLY, put one of FNP’s new UUID hostids on SERVER line • Use VMotion or Hyper-V Live Migration for redundancy • Distribute as an application or service • Limit to any virtual machine running on a specified physical/host machine • Put one of FNP’s new “bare metal” hostids on SERVER line • Ethernet MAC address, IP Address, Hostname, or Display of physical machine • Limit to only a specified physical/host machine • Set ls_allow_vm=PHYSICAL, put FNP’s traditional hostids on SERVER line • Use three servers for redundancy
