VM enabled running clones of the same VM on different PCs/MacsAnswered

Sorry, I was asking a general question - not looking to use the information for anything specific to do with licensing.

The question was based on the IP addresses reported normally, so I do have to ask the same question again, as the answer provided seems to have made more assumptions than intended.

If a user with VM operation enabled runs clones of the same VM on different PCs/Macs in different locations, will LimeLM report multiple (informational) IP addresses for the same license key?

Or to put it a simpler way, will LimeLM show/indicate that the license ‘may’ be being used in multiple locations?

Nope. And it’s covered in those articles, which are a why I linked them.

I have now re-read every word on the articles linked to.

They do not answer my question.

So, to ask it in yet another different way, what will the Dashboard > View Product Key pages show with respect to different PCs/Macs using a cloned VM if the PCs/Macs are connected to the internet via different IP addresses? Will multiple, different, IP addresses be shown in such a situation?

No.

Will multiple, different, IP addresses be shown in such a situation?

No.

Thank you for the response.

Can you please explain why different IP addresses would not be displayed for any systems connected via a different IP address?

Because IP addresses are not useful. And we treat them as such.

I am struggling with your responses…

I am not asking for any guarantees, and have no intent to use IP addresses for anything.

But, when we have a single license that is ‘allowed’ to be uses on multiple PCs the Dashboard does show the individual IP addresses for each installation.

Why EXACTLY would that not happen with cloned VMs? Please explain in detail, rather than as per your previous limited responses.

This is a genuine request for information and support.

Sorry - you are still not answering my specific question, which I have now asked in a number of different ways.

If the ‘clones’ are connected via different IP addresses, will the different IP addresses be displayed in the Dashboard for each different connection?

If not, please explain why not, as this is exactly what happens presently with any license that is deliberately enabled for multiple PC activations.

What would be different? Please explain in detail.

IP address seciton is stands for “IP Address the activation made from”.

Since you activate once and copy the VM to somewhere else and run it, the IP addreess will not change i guess.

“I've said this at least 3 times in this thread: to “activate” separate VM instances, use TurboFloat.”

And we (along with many others) have been asking when LicenseChest, hosted TurboFloat Server instances, will be available, as promised for the first quarter this year…

But, you still seem to be confusing the interest in if different IP addresses would be shown with some form of license control - that is not the case.
We are simply interested if multiplre IP address 'could' be shown, and if so, under what circumstances.
 

So to ask the same question, in a totally different way, as one of the ‘extra data’ options, can the active IP address be reported when the software does a ‘call home’, showing a list of the different IP addresses as each new IP address is seen? Just for interest you understand.
