Installing Delphi with an MSA

[Coyotte 0]

Dear All,

We are installing a new Jenkins solution for CI/CD.
We'll have a server for Jenkins itself and a server for the Agents.
On the Agent server, I need to install Delphi so that we'll be able to recompile applications.

For security reasons, I'am asked by the Infrastructure Manager if it's possible to use an MSA (Managed Service Account) for the Agent.
As far Ias I understand, this means that Delphi should be installed using the MSA too.

Am I right ? Am I wrong ?
Is it possible ?
Are there some alternatives ?
I've also read in another topic the a Network licence could be used to simplify this problematic. Will this help here ?

Any idea, suggestion or solution base are welcome.
I wish you all a pleasant day,


Michel

You'll be using the command line compiler so you can use any account you like; The compiler is just a regular console application.

 

And as far as I remember you don't even need a license. Just copy the files from an existing installation.

At least that is how I read the license:

Quote

2.4. Command Line Compiler. Licensee may install the command line compiler on a separate computer from the Product itself, provided that the sole purpose of doing so is to allow that computer to perform unattended building of applications.

Yes, I know you don't need an extra license. My point was that I don't think you even need to run the installer.
