Start8 in a VDI environment

January 29, 2015 5:33:57 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I would like to know the process behind the enterprise licensing of Start8 in a VDI environment.  Our vm's get destroyed every 12 hours and re-created.  How would this affect the licensing?

Uninstalling the software deactivates it. If you're not deactivating it, you will run into a problem when you go to activate again.

Deactivation would involve a lot more work that we are willing to put in for a simple "delete the VM / Recreate using template" operation.

How does this work?  Does it use a UUID to identify the machine?

Anyone?  Hello?

Using a corporate license server, how would this work when the VDI virtual machines are deleted on a daily bases and re-created?  Is the software intelligent enough to realize that only 3000 licenses are being used at a time?  Or on the 2nd day is the license server going to think that we are trying to use 6000?
