4 History

5 Basic license support

5.1 General information

The SW Repackager can run with three different kinds of licenses

1. ScientaMedia: Requires an internet connection
2. Convoy: Requires a Convoy installation, but no external internet
3. Standalone: Requires neither internet nor Convoy

The actual license, must be acquired from Agile Content TAC, and the license type depends on the agreement with Agile Content.

5.2 Service configuration

For all license types the license file is: /etc/ew-repackager/license.json

After updating the file, the services must be restarted:

[root@esb3002 ~]#  systemctl restart ew-repackager-license ew-repackager

5.2.1 ScientaMedia and Convoy licenses

You may receive either a complete file (or a license_ref string). The license file must be replaced (or edited) accordingly.

For example:

{
    "license_ref": "1209-company_name-esb3002-repackager_vod-123456789",
    "service_name": "ew-repackager",
    "status_query_interval" : "2m",
    "loglevel": "DEBUG",
    "validation_type": "offline"
}

validation_type must be online for ScientaMedia, and offline for Convoy licenses.

5.2.2 Standalone license

In this case you will receive a complete file in a different format. Here the entire license file must be replaced without any editing.

5.2.3 Variant specific configuration

For Convoy licenses, the convoy-1 and IP to the Convoy nod must be added to /etc/hosts, manually.

5.3 License statuses

The table below briefly sums up the possible license statuses returned by the license server. Currently only an expired license will cause the SW Repackager to stop processing requests.

5.4 Troubleshooting
