- Statement
- InsightVM Live Licensing: each instance or virtual machine in AWS or Microsoft Azure counts as one asset until it is terminated; discovery connections remove terminated assets from the licence count as soon as they are decommissioned. For containers, each host counts as one asset regardless of the number of containers, and per-image assessments do not affect the licence count. No host-, core- or hypervisor-based alternative is published: each virtual machine that is assessed is an asset. (vendor document undated; as published on 2026-09-30)
