Instance licenses are required for spawning instances. The Multi-Instance licenses are fetched onto the
system after the device is registered with the license manager. The licenses are then managed by the Root
Instance for spawning instances. The root instance takes care of assigning an available instance license to
an instance after it has started.
The licenses are assigned to an instance and marked as in use only when the instance is started. The
license assigned to an instance remains in use until an instance is deleted. Stopping an instance does not
release its license.
After all instances are consumed, a request to start a new instance would fail owing to insufficient licenses.
The Instances page displays the list of instance licenses and their status (used/available) and also the name
of the instance (for licenses in use).
