Docker with WSL2 (or using a single license on Ubuntu and Windows)

[ilia]

Hi!

On Win10 and WSL2 we run into problems when we tried to debug Metashape inside the docker container. It seems that when the license is activated inside the container and container is terminated there are not ways to get back the license. Probably because the license is tied to the specific HW configuration.

I know that some of this issues may be caused that WSL2 for Win10 always get a new MAC each time container is run. This can be solved by specifying network configuration for WSL2 in Win11 to use mirroring mode. Then it will get the same MAC as the host machine. Will it help to avoid losing the license if on the host machine the license is still activated?

I would even reformulate the question this way:
If I have Windows and Ubuntu installed on the same machine in dual boot mode - can I use the same license without deactivating and activating it all the time when I switch between machines? If so then it should work also for Win11 WSL2 docker container as it should contain the same HW information used to identify the PC.

We've got it solved by propagating MAC address to the container. It doesn't require Win11 actually.
