Hi all, Has anyone successfully run OpenAI gym based training using a mujoco environment on AWS? What are the licensing implications? Do I have to buy one key per instance? Any help on this would be much appreciated.
You need an institutional license -- which allows a specified number of users to run the software on unlimited number of machines. The activation key is not hardware-locked so it works on AWS and any other cloud. There are plenty of teams doing that. Personal and individual licenses only allow 3 computers to be used simultaneously. These can be AWS instances if you want, but it kind of defeats the purpose of cloud computing. Note that the hardware-locking mechanism (used in personal and trial licenses) does not work with all virtual machines (because some of them do not provide the hardware info needed for locking) but works on AWS.
