There are some prerequisites to be aware of before following the steps in this document:

  • Users should be familiar with the operation of AWS.
  • If not already done, create a Progress ID at the registration page: Create a Progress ID
  • Internet access in the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is required to license free and hourly-usage LoadMasters.
  • Using Bring Your Own License (BYOL) licensing in an AWS VPC does work without internet access when using the private IP address but only if Offline Licensing is used during the deployment.
  • Alternate default gateway support is not permitted in a cloud environment.
  • Instance metadata: LoadMaster on AWS currently only supports Instance Metadata Service Version 1 (IMDSv1). If IMDSv2 is enforced on the instance, LoadMaster cannot obtain a license from the Progress licensing server.
