Deployment of Litmus Edge Manager as an Azure Application

3min

You can deploy Litmus Edge Manager as an Azure application.

The Azure application comes with a site license, which is automatically activated upon deployment and remains valid for five years. Tag consumption will be tracked and reported to Azure to ensure accurate billing.

The publisher, Litmus, maintains complete control over the virtual machine through a managed resource group, while the customer's access to the virtual machine is limited.

Important for Cloud Deployment: Before activating the license, ensure that all hardware or Virtual Machines (VM) configuration steps, such as adding or replacing a Network Interface Controller (NIC), are completed. Any changes to the VM hardware configuration may invalidate the licensing settings.
