Hi @deveshkasat ,
What cloud type infrastructure you prefer with?
If it is Amazon EC2/Azure instances i would suggest you to go for concurrent licensing model where you can setup license server on cloud(FlexNet License server setup you might be given if you had entitled for concurrent licensing model).
So that other machines(Here VM machines) can try to connect with license server using IP-Address & port
Thanks,
Jenifer

Hi @deveshkasat ,
If you are in plan to move current concurrent licensing from current VM to cloud:
- Do return the licence where it is currently been used using
FlexNet return wizard
- Try to activate same on cloud instance
It should work

Hi @deveshkasat,
I dont have the exact steps but what I can tell you that installing of the license sever will remain same. You do have to do few setting in cloud account during creating the instance. You have to create a Static IP so that the IP does not change each time you restart the instance. And you have to create a VPN networks (Note that it would not be wise to use the public IP for security reasons 🙂 ). You also have to open the PORT in your cloud instance the one which is used by the license server.
Thanks
