Jump to navigation Jump to search

There are two types of Wowza licenses. By default, IVS will provide a Wowza license key and a USB key. The steps below are to add the USB key to the VM. If you want to use the VM in a highly available environment, IVS can provide a license-only key that does not require a USB key. Please make sure to request this at the time of order.
