Arnold UBL on AWS workaround?

Hi All,

Is anyone using Arnold UBL licensing on AWS, but not getting them picked up as they’re not launched through Spot?

I have no issue using the Redshift licenses, but the Arnold ones don’t seem to work.

I’m wondering if it’s because the machines may appear in Deadline as ‘on-premise’ when they are in fact AWS instances, and if the fact they do not pick up licenses is because they are not launched as ‘Spot’ instances?

Is there a way around this? to make it clear to Deadline they are AWS instances (the name and free Deadline license should be a give away!)

It was this link that made me wonder about the licenses

  • Arnold
    • Deadline 10.0 or later.
    • Arnold Usage Based Licensing is NOT available for rendering on premises.
