From L3Harris Tech Support:

L3Harris does not host IDL in the cloud for users

The IDL user is welcome to configure IDL to run on AWS or inside “containers”. The recommended licensing method for this implementation is to have each IDL instance connect to an AWS hosted license server to checkout licenses on the fly. The license server (setup by the user) instance needs to be configured to have an static (elastic in AWS terms) MAC address to prevent license failure. The number of simultaneous containers running IDL would be limited to the number of IDL licenses allocated to the license server.


About IDL licensing in AWS environment:

User sets up an AWS instance to be a license server, issuing license to the containers running IDL.

The user could setup a local node-locked license inside the container but this is a grey area with our EULA since license counting could not be managed easily. One option might be to activate the IDL license (internet required) each time the instance is fired up and then when done with your processing task, deactivate the license before terminating the instance.
