I currently have a standard DiffPlug license, which requires activation through the GUI License Manager. However, I want to test DiffPlug in a CI environment (Bamboo) where the agent has no GUI. Is it possible to obtain a trial license specifically for headless CI usage so that I can run DiffPlug commands on the agent?
We have an unmarketed “dp.simstate.headless” license which allows you to run DiffPlug inside a headless ephemeral VM container. Someday it will be administered by passing a --headless $TOKEN flag, but for now we actually just create a one-off build of headless DiffPlug specific to the customer. This build will stop working after a year, and we trust the customer to not let their custom builds leak out into public.
The pricing for dp.simstate.headless is $4,750 (5x the cost of an interactive dp.simstate.differ license). But for every 10x dp.simstate.differ licenses you have, you get one free dp.simstate.headless license. We find that most customers investing in custom CI pipelines have at least 10 users anyway.
