Supported Environments

Datamine License Services is supported and tested against Windows workstation and server environments running on both physical devices and cloud storage.

Operating Environments

License Services can operate within both physical and cloud environments and will automatically configure itself to the specified environment.

You choose which installation type will be performed at the start of the installation process:

License Services versions 5.7 and later offer three installation types, one of which must be selected at the start of the installation process of the standalone License Services package:

Public Cloud: selecting this option indicates that License Services server will be installed on a virtual machine accessible via the public Internet. This is targeted at and has been tested in V5.8 using the Microsoft® Azure® platform.
Private Cloud: selecting this option indicates that License Services will be installed on a virtual Azure platform that is accessible within a private network, or a virtual machine (say, hosted by a virtualization server or even a local virtual machine hosted in Hyper-V, for example).
Physical: this indicates that License Services will be installed on physical PC hardware, that is, a local desktop. This option represents the only configuration of License Services available prior to version 5.7.
