Cloud Licensing Performance

This section describes considerations for system performance when implementing vendor-hosted cloud licensing.

>Sentinel LDK cloud licensing has been proven to support 100,000 concurrent login accesses from remote clients running an application that was protected with Sentinel LDK Envelope using the default settings. This is not an absolute limit; in most cases, a greater number of clients can be supported.

Performance may be affected by server resources, network latency, and client bandwidth.

The number of clients stated above applies equally to the following:

•LAN and cloud environments (This was tested with Amazon Web Services and Alibaba Cloud.)

•Windows and Linux servers

•All license models

>The maximum number of SL keys with cloud licenses that can exist on a license server machine (Windows or Linux) is unlimited.

>Thales recommends that vendors use Trusted Storage instead of Secure Storage. Secure Storage supports a large number of licenses but it takes a long time to load. Secure Storage does not support high availability, and you cannot migrate the storage to another machine or host it separately from the License Manager (LM). See Trusted Storage and Secure Storage.
