Demo license

Comprimato offers demo licenses for testing purposes for a limited time. The demo license may be loaded with the Load license file button (right) and will allow unlimited functionality for streams. If you need more time for testing your use cases, you may contact Comprimato support and request another demo license.

If a license is granted, the status shows “Unlimited time” or the time for which the pipeline can produce an output, according to loaded license files (see section 2.2). The status will be for example:

  • License: Unlimited time – a pipeline may produce an output for unlimited time.
  • License: Till 2021-02-21 23:59:59 – a pipeline will produce an output until the displayed time point is passed (please note that for your convenience, the status shows the time and date according to your computer (i.e., browser) time, not the twenty-one encoder system time, which may be different).

If the pipeline is not allowed to produce an output, the license status reads “Blocked” or “Unavailable” and is shown red. Twenty-one Encoder will process the pipeline as usual, the only difference is that the output will not be sent to defined output destinations. This feature will help you verify your environment abilities (e. g. system load limits, input stream compliance and others) even if you do not have enough licenses yet. For that reason, the input and output stream status indicator may be green even if the license status is not valid.

Possible invalid license statuses are:

  • License: Blocked – there are licenses for the stream loaded in the system, but the count of streams would exceed the licensed number (other streams have exhausted the available licenses)
  • License: Unavailable – the stream needs a license that is not loaded (the stream contains a feature of a newer version of Twenty-one encoder which isn’t included in any loaded license)
