Licensing Your HMP

This section provides instructions to update your Haivision Media Platform license from the Web interface. For major releases or when purchasing licensed options, you need to obtain a valid license key from Haivision Technical Support and apply it before updating. For example, KLV, EPG, Network Storage, and Multicast Agent support are licensed options.

Note

• Any update (other than a maintenance release, such as version 3.x.x) requires a new license.
• Haivision Media Platform is available in product editions to suit different applications. For more information, see Product Editions.

To update your license:

1. Click the 

   

    icon and select Administration from the navigation drop-down menu.

2. Click System Settings on the toolbar and then click Licensing on the sidebar.
   The License pane opens, showing the installed license, including its expiration date, product edition, and licensed features.
   

   

   

   Note

   • With VM installations, the display shows the Instance UUID and CPU ID (if available); Whereas with regular (non-VM) installations, those two fields are not displayed.
