Issue

• Don’t know the way I should manage the license when attaching a controller instance to an Operations Center instance.

Environment

• CloudBees CI (CloudBees Core)
• CloudBees CI (CloudBees Core) on modern cloud platforms - Managed controller
• CloudBees CI (CloudBees Core) on modern cloud platforms - Operations Center
• CloudBees CI (CloudBees Core) on traditional platforms - Client controller
• CloudBees CI (CloudBees Core) on traditional platforms - Operations Center
• CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise
• CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise - Managed controller
• CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise - Operations Center
• CloudBees Jenkins Platform - Client controller
• CloudBees Jenkins Platform - Operations Center

Resolution

The recommended option is to let Operations Center manage the license for all the instance running as connected controllers.

If you are running CloudBees Jenkins Platform with Master/Executor license you might have an option to choose between Production and Test license for the controller.
