Stopping the Instance
You can stop and deallocate your server instance, while keeping all configurations active. After the instance is stopped, no further running charges are applied.
Important
Please be aware that simply halting your server via the Web UI does not deallocate your instance, and you will continue to be charged for the running instance. To avoid unwanted charges, you must stop the virtual machine.
To stop your server instance on the various cloud platforms:
- Navigate to the AWS View Instances page.
- Find and select your server, then click Instance State > Stop Instance.
Important
It is possible that halting an AMI instance results in a change in the MAC address the next time it is started, which causes the existing BYOL license to expire. If this happens, contact Haivision with the new MAC address to obtain a replacement license.
Navigate to Virtual machines in the Azure portal.
- Find and click on your virtual machine, then click Stop.
- Navigate to the Elastic Compute Service page.
- Click Stop next to the instance you wish to stop.
In Stop Mode, select either Standard Mode or Economical Mode.
Important
Selecting the latter option may result in a change in the MAC address the next time it is started, which causes the existing BYOL license to expire. If this happens, contact Haivision with the new MAC address to obtain a replacement license.
