I'm following JFrog's knowledge base article for migrating Artifactory to a new node - https://jfrog.com/help/r/artifactory-what-is-the-best-way-to-migrate-a-large-artifactory-instance-with-minimal-downtime/artifactory-what-is-the-best-way-to-migrate-a-large-artifactory-instance-with-minimal-downtime.
When starting up Artifactory on the new node and running through the startup wizard, it's requesting the license key.
I only have one license key. Would I remain within the T&C's by stopping the Artifactory service on the old node and using the license to get the new node up, and then stopping Artifactory on this new node and restarting on the old one whilst I rsync everything across?
I have searched here and elsewhere online, but have not been successful finding any information regarding Pro licensing and whether installing the same license on more than one node is permitted, even if only one instance of the Artifactory service is up and running at any given time.
Thanks.
We can migrate from one instance to another instance using a single license, however, it requires downtime since we cannot have two different instances running with the same licenses which is a violation of EULA. I can suggest the following two approaches.
Approach 1:
Approach2: If there is an external database(Ex: PostgreSQL) and filestore(Ex: S3) then bring up the new environment with the same version of these products.
I recommended testing these scenarios in a non-prod/test/lower environment and defining a game plan for production activity.
If you cannot afford any downtime in the current environment, kindly contact the JFrog Support(for technical queries)/Sales(for License queries) team for help.
