I have a distributed build system in place (1 Jenkins Master and several build nodes).
I have a piece of software required for a project’s build whose licensing is tied to the MAC address of the machine which has the software installed (ioncube encoder).
Am I correct in assuming that when the project is built, the ioncube encoder will not need to be installed on the Jenkins Master machine but will need to be installed on the Jenkins Agent / Slave machine?
Thanks in advance for any advice / help!

The master also has two executors, so jobs can be scheduled there.
To avoid this, use a tag on the hosts where the software is installed,
and require that tag inside the project config using "Restrict where
this build can be run".
This also allows you to install the software on a subset of the slave
machines only.

Thank you for your prompt reply!
So if my understanding is correct:
1. Install ioncube encoder on the build node.
2. Restrict where the project can be built in the job's configuration.
That's it. There should be no issue in orchestrating the build from Jenkins master when the software required for the build is tied to a build node's MAC address?
Thanks in advance for any follow up information you may be able to provide.
