CIT Cloudification Team's "ticket" (they use Jira):

Servers

Server #1: Windows

Consolidate services running in different VMs now:

  • License server
    • MAC address must be static. CIT's info: I wanted to follow up to give you an answer to the question about MAC addresses and how they work at AWS for your FlexLM license server. In short, the MAC address of the NIC associated with your instance stays static. This address stays even after a reboot or a stop/start. So you’d have to spin up a Windows instance at AWS, get the MAC address, update your FlexLM license, and then migrate the license serving function. At that point you should be all set.
  • Eastern printer server
  • Maybe: DeepFreeze server

Server #2: Windows

Stockroom App's Windows server

Server #3: Linux

Stockroom App's Linux server
