License types
Server license
A server license allows you to use only the built-in database. It is packaged with the server and is automatically installed if no other license is present. It restricts you to running only two concurrent steps.
Entitlement categories
Registered host license
Registered hosts are dedicated hosts on which a procedure or step can always run. This license controls the number of unique registered host names. The maxRegisteredHosts license file property value sets the maximum number of hosts that can be recorded in the database. Whether those hosts are in the default-zone, behind a gateway, or are proxied hosts, they all count towards this total.
The localhost host name and the 127.0.0.1 IP address represent the local agent installed on the CloudBees CD/RO server machine. These are part of the total count for hosts in use with a registered host license.
If multiple steps are running concurrently on the same host, the host name still counts once only toward the license limit. All resources pointing to a single host count as one host.
When a license expires, running jobs are allowed to complete, but no new jobs can be launched.
