    As of 11th Jan 2021 this is the advice found on Usage tab of EC2 instances launched via AWS Marketplace to run Data3Sixty Analyze:

    3.6.2

    Once you launch the AMI (product initialization can take up to 3 minutes at first boot) you should browse to http://EXTERNAL-IP-ADDRESS:8080 where EXTERNAL-IP-ADDRESS is the external IP address assigned to your instance or alternatively the DNS name given to your instance. Then log in using the username 'admin' and the password which will be Private IP address of the instance you have launched. When you have logged in, Data3Sixty Analyze will prompt you to enter the license you will have already been provided by Infogix - this is in the format of a .lic file. When you have uploaded the license you will be logged into the Data3Sixty Analyze Directory. From here you can begin creating your Data Flows. Comprehensive help is available via F1 and information can be found on https://www.infogix.com/data3sixty/analyze/  and https://support.infogix.com 
     
    Those steps require a user to perform manual authentication & file-handling via browser tab; in scenarios where we might be deploying Analyze afresh on a very regular basis (eg weekly) it would be useful to automate this step. Is that possible?

    Assuming you have ssh and SFTP access to the server running Data360 Analyze, it would be possible to use a third-party tool/ scripting to deploy the license (.lic) file to the filesystem of the server.

    Analyze requires the licence file to be stored in the <Data360Analyze Install Dir>/site-7731/conf directory and the license file must be named "core_3_License.lic".

    The license file is read when the application is being started up so the file must be deployed when the application is down for it to be recognized.

    The permissions on the license file must allow the 'Analyze' user to read the file.

    So this is another volume/file mounting location for Docker. Would volume mounting the entire site directory make sense? It seems most of that folder should be persisted?
