Nprobe containers unable to share license file

Hi All:

I have a use case in which I am running multiple nprobe sessions as
containers (so we can apply various networking operations against its
respective veth port).

I notice that I despite the systemID is identical for all the containers, I
can not share the same license across them. I can only use a license on the
first nprobe container, any additional containers would site license
mismatch

localhost]$ sudo docker logs netflowbot3

Here is how I am exporting/exposing the license file

docker run -td --rm -v
/home/devbot/license_pool/${i}.xdrum.nprobe.license:/etc/nprobe.license:ro
--name="netflowbot$i" xdrum/nprobe nprobe

I know I can run multple instances of nprobe in linux while sharing the
same license file, what is the difference between the two use cases? Am I
doing something incorrectly?

Much Thanks
Morgan Yang

Hi Morgan
please provide the output from both the first (working instance) and the second (non working) instance,
something like the first 50 lines should be enough.

Thank you
Alfredo

Hi Alfredo:

Please see attached. I'm using a nprobe container i found online, which is

Hi Morgan
please note the system id is not the same, it should be due to the container management (virtual) interface which is different in each container instance:

BE1406059208AB1B
BE1406049208AB1B

Thanks for pointing this out, sorry I missed it. Is it possible to have a
feature request that would allow multiple containers on the same system to
share a license?
