To change the license key edit conf/Server.license and just replace the old key with the new key.

Are you getting an error message when you run ./startup.sh from the /usr/local/WowzaMediaServerPro/bin folder?

It looks like you are running an older version of Java or the GNU version of Java. Wowza Pro requires at least Java 5 (aka 1.5) (we recommend the latest version of Java 6 (aka 1.6) – Java 6 Update 4). You can download the JDK from the java.sun.com website. When the installation is complete you should be able to execute the command:

java -version

It will return the current java version number. If it is still running the old version read this post for suggestions:

First, download and install JDK 6 Update 4 from the Sun web site. Go through the same process again. If it still doesn’t work, edit bin/setenv.sh change the the line:

from:
_EXECJAVA=java
to:
_EXECJAVA=/usr/bin/java

That will force it to use the Java defined at /usr/bin/java. You can verify that this is the correct version of Java by execute the command:

/usr/bin/java -version

The conf/Server.license is not in

/usr/local/WowzaMediaServerPro/conf

or in

WowzaMediaServerPro-1.3.3/conf
