What is a "running" remote agent

[Matt Clarkson]

I'm trying to understand the definition of a running remote agent so i can understand if i can afford bamboo.

We have cpp project that needs to build for 20 target types.   Assuming I had 20 remote agent processes up on slave build boxes but only needed 5 concurrent builds then would I need 20 remote agent licenses or 5 remote agent licenses?   

Assuming the answer is 5 then I presume that the licensing is centrally managed by the master Bamboo server and that builds would queue until a free spot opened up?

Hi @Matt Clarkson,

Yes, that is correct.

Bamboo manages licensing and 5 concurrent builds would require 5 licenses.
