License & Load Balancing

[apignard]

Hello,

 

We use nat loadbalancing and i notice that's WHMCS license track private IP.

 

Do we need several license or one license ?

As far i known license said it's per firm.

 

We plan provide whmcs for customers on our lb server and will be a real problem in case we need 1 license per node.

 

Regards,

Hey apignard,

 

I know that this is going to come across sounding a little bit rude, but if you have a load balanced solution in a datacenter consisting of more then one server, then surely you would have the money to purchase more then one license of WHMCS?

 

That being said, we did not load balance our install of WHMCS on all but one node because of the cost of licensing - so it would be cool if Matt could clarify this a little bit more.

 

Regards,

Tim

WHMCS licensing system will verify the IP, Domain and Installation Path. In other words, it's one license per IP, Domain and Installation Path.

If your IP address is likely to change frequently of its own accord, we have provision for this.

 

Once you've ordered, please open a support ticket.

So if you have 3 servers and one domain and using load balancing, you only need one lic. is that correct...

[WHMCS John]

That is correct.

I have three servers, but not load balancing (yet). I am trying to put certain lower end account on a server that does not have the horse power that other servers do. And certain accounts on a better machine, and free account on the third.

 

Does this scenario require more than one license? And how do I set it up to use just one domain for the reseller, for the different servers?

 

Does this also mean that I would require another instance of WHMCS?

[mylove4life]

that is something completly different as to what we are talking about really. You would have different servers for your services and have WHMCS add to them.

WHMCS can definitely handle that with only one installation and license. A single installation can handle an unlimited number of servers.

For this set up you would do it in the servers set up adding all three servers, then in your packages you choose which server you want the package to be created on, this isnt load balancing exactly its server selection.
