Licensing when moving to AWS Cloud for XCOM for Linux

Products

• XCOM Data Transport
• XCOM Data Transport - Linux PC

Issue/Introduction

When moving into an AWS Cloud how does the licensing work when servers are being stood up and closed down in a short duration of time?

Environment

XCOM™ Data Transport® for Linux PC

Resolution

In general, moving to the Cloud should be covered by current licensing as long as the number of deployed Linux XCOM servers at any one time (Cloud plus conventional) does not exceed the customer's total number of XCOM for Linux licenses.
However, for any specific customer site, this subject should be discussed further with their Broadcom Account team representative.
