I run 3 proxmox hypervisors with a total of maybe 30 VMs that will run. We run an ubuntu shop and I'd love to use Landscape to monitor the infrastructure and package updates. The self-hosted setup process has been mostly straight-forward, but the licensing still is not entirely clear to me. I am currently running with a personal token but would like to buy our licenses once I can figure out what I need.
Landscape vs Registrations Remaining vs Pro for Managed Computers.
My Ubuntu Pro dashboard show 5 free personal tokens, with 2 active machines. This makes sense as I have
- 1 hypervisor, running proxmox (debian), on which I'm running two VMs
- 1 landscape server (ubnt 2204)
- 1 landscape client (ubnt 2204)
My Landscape Dashboard lists 1 computer registered with "Remaining registrations: 59". However the breakdown on /account/standalone shows:
Registered computers: 1
Remaining full registrations: 9
Registered VMs, remaining VM registrations: all 0
Remaining container registrations: 50
When I go to the 1 landscape client Pro Tab in the Landscape dashboard, (/account/standalone/computer/1/ubuntu_pro_info), it says:
> "This computer is not attached to an Ubuntu Pro entitlement"
When I go to the 1 landscape client Info Tab in the Landscape dashboard, (/account/standalone/computer/1/info) it says:
> Landscape, 356245 days left, 9 seats free
When I try to change the license to:
> Landscape for containers, 356245 days left, 50 seats free
It pops up an error:
> Computer 'XXX' cannot be associated with a virtual machine license
It's confusing because the license is called "container" but the error is related to a VM license.
Both landscape-licensed computers (client and server) are VMs running on the hypervisor.
I would like help to understand:
- Where do all these different quantities of license, token, etc come from?
- What is the license quantity I need to purchase to run 3 hypervisors, running ~30 VMs
