IBM Aspera offers two licensing options for High-Speed Transfer Server, the main server engine that powers Aspera FASP transfer sessions. The first model licenses each installation by server with a bandwidth cap. The second model allows unlimited installations and bandwidth, and is entitled according to how much data volume (bytes in + out) is sent over a year.
Many customers are changing to this volume entitlement to allow more flexibility in number of servers deployed and overall throughput.
This article describes how to switch an existing High-Speed Transfer Server from a license key to an entitlement.
There is a service that runs on your HSTS host that needs outbound connectivity on tcp/443 to the IBM Aspera entitlement service. This service will register your HSTS install and send simple byte counts to track against your annual allotment. Please open tcp/443 outbound.
Log in to your HSTS host and open a root prompt, then run the following:
