First, a salute to all the people of this forum.
At this moment I have an installation of Wowza Media Server 2.2.4 on Ubuntu Server 11.04.
For this installation i have used Java 6.
In this moment, i don´t remember very well what i did very well for the installation but i think this:
```auto
Install Java
# apt-get update && apt-get install sun-java6-jre
Download Wowza Media Server using wget
# wget-c https://www.wowza.com/downloads/WowzaMediaServer-2-2-4/WowzaMediaServer-2.2.4.deb.bin
Add execute permission
# chmod-x WowzaMediaServer 2.2.4.deb.bin
Run the installer
# ./WowzaMediaServer-2.2.4.deb.bin
(Press Space to read next page of the agreement)
(Type Yes at the end of the agreement)
(The setup will be finished)
Now go to your installed location and run startup.sh
# cd / usr / local / WowzaMediaServer / bin / &&. / startup.sh
paste your license key
Press CTRL C to stop the server if it is still running and you can not get a prompt.
Start the streaming server
# / etc / init.d / start WowzaMediaServer
```
I have two applications “live” and “vod”
Everything works perfectly, my license is: Wowza Media Server 2.2.4 Edition Perpetual
Now I have to do another install but Ubuntu Server 11.10 and I would like to do with all updated.
Should must I do this?:
```auto
# Apt-get update && apt-get install sun-jre-java7
# Wget-c https://www.wowza.com/downloads/WowzaMediaServer-3.0.5/WowzaMediaServer-3.0.5.deb.bin
# Chmod-x WowzaMediaServer 3.0.5.deb.bin
# ./WowzaMediaServer-3.0.5.deb.bin
(Press Space to read next page of the agreement)
(Type Yes at the end of the agreement)
(The setup will be finished)
# Cd / usr/local/WowzaMediaServer-3.0.5/bin / &&. / Startup.sh
paste your license key
Press CTRL C to stop the server if it is still running and you can not get a prompt.
# / Etc / init.d / start WowzaMediaServer
```
Now I have a license when I buy another I will have discount?
How do I update my Wowza 2.1.1 a3.0.5 installation of Ubuntu 11.04?
Thank you very much for everything, a greeting: Manyblue

Hi
I would always check for the latest versions of Java before downloading them so I would start with:
1.) apt-cache search jre (this will show you the latest version of Java)
2.) apt-get install sun\_java[X]-jre ([X] being the number of the latest version)
3.) wget [link to correct Wowza version]
4.) sh WowzaMediaServer-[3.X.X].deb.bin
The upgrade guide is here,

Note that you will need a new licence to run Wowza 3
Regarding billing questions its best to contact sales@wowza.com

You have to look at the Addon page. Some have one version that works with Wowza 2 or 3, and a few have an updated version for Wowza 3. If you do not see mention of a Wowza 3 version, then it will work on either.
