We are using Wowza Streaming Engine on Google Cloud Compute Engine in conjunction with Docker: [https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/containers/container\_vms](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/containers/container_vms).
We set up a really nice system to build and deploy new Wowza code using Docker and soon realized that Wowza licensing does not work well in this system. When a new version is rolled out a fresh new set of instances are created and we point our users to this new cluster. As you probably already know, WSE contacts Wowza Corporate to let them know a new server is running. This action charges your account for a new license for a month.
This system of creating a new set of instances is typical of a cloud Docker service.
**So every time we push code a new Docker container is built and we are charged a new month of billing for that instance.** This seems unreasonably inflexible to me.
Is there anyone else out there that is using WSE with Docker in a similar manner that has worked around this problem?

If you have not done so already, you may want to [raise a ticket with support](https://www.wowza.com/support/open-ticket)and get their thoughts on this issue.

Thanks! Yes I opened a ticket and they refunded the overcharging. They also explained the licensing structure; how it tracks current installs etc. I’ve never used a piece of software charges your account when you launch an instance before. I was also made aware of the developer license: [https://www.wowza.com/media-server/developers/license](https://www.wowza.com/media-server/developers/license).
