I am currently using the Landscape Saas trial with 30 desktops. Once the trial is over, can I purchase 30 ubuntu advantage desktop licenses and continue to use the same landscape "domain" with out having to rebuild it? Is it possible for Saas and ubuntu advantage to co-exist, meaning that one computer is changed $0.01 per hour while the other one is good for the year, but both are managed by the same landscape administration console?

Also the landscape user guide says that I can have 1000 administrators, but I am limited to 5. I am assuming this is a trial limitation and that this will go away after the trial has ended?

I was able to get a hold of a canonical representative. Below is a direct quote from the representative's email.

  1. Number of admins in Landscape - there are 5 only in the self-service SaaS Landscape. Answer: If you have Ubuntu Advantage, you can submit a ticket and ask support to add more admin seats- it could be 20, that is not an issue. For on-premise Landscape, the default number is 100, so you do not need to ask the support team to add more.

  2. Is transfer from self-service SaaS Landscape to Ubuntu Advantage possible? Unfortunately not- it would need to be a new account, sorry.

Over the phone I was told that I could buy landscape seats at $25 per year per desktop, without support using a quote from a representative. The $25 seats are still under advantage, so I'm assuming the 50 seat minimum still applies.

I was also told that the licences are tied to the landscape account not the desktops. If you run out of landscape seats using Ubuntu advantage, it would not let you join anymore machines to the administration console, unless you buy more seats.
