Hi, AFAIK this change has occured between the switch from qemu-kvm to qemu. (qemu 1.3 if I remember)
Don't have see license problem after other upgrade (qemu 1.3->1.4->1.5 ...) But It's always better to use volume licenses, no more problem in case of virtual hardware change. ----- Mail original ----- De: "Anshul Makkar" <anshul.mak...@profitbricks.com> À: "Markus Armbruster" <arm...@redhat.com> Cc: "Andreas Färber" <afaer...@suse.de>, "qemu-devel" <qemu-devel@nongnu.org> Envoyé: Mercredi 9 Juillet 2014 13:09:47 Objet: Re: [Qemu-devel] live migration + licensing issue.
