Re: Avoiding 18XE preinstall on Linux

Hey Niall,

As there's a low number of servers to manage, I'm using Ansible (agent-less, zero overhead -- perfect for the 10-ish servers). The irony is that this server is acting like a poor man's management server for the other servers. But none of the other servers will be using 18XE. The existing 19.6 install is the repository for EM13 and I want to add 18XE for centrally storing some logs that can be reported via Apex (i.e. nothing critical with zero license cost).

Thanks,
Rich
