Hi Edahl,
My answers inline
- If we simply add the JVM options to every app instance, when there are no more licenses available for that app (10), it'll simply continue to run without any issues, right?. AppD would just be completely disabled for that instance, right?
Yes, that should be the behavior, though i have not tried.
- When an instance is destroyed, will its license be released immediately?
The license is released when there is not data for 5 mins (https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO43/Historical+and+Disconnected+Nodes#HistoricalandDisconnectedNodes-NodeActivityandAgentLicensing)
But in your case if the instance is destroyed the license should be released immediately.
- When an instance is destroyed, will one of the other instances be able to automatically pick up that license or will they need to be restarted?
I am not tried this but i think the way agent works it looks for license on start so it will have to be restarted.
- Is it possible to more granular than "Application". For example, can we limit license use by Tiers within an Application?
I dont think, you can limit by each server though.
Thanks
Gurmit.
