I have the perpetual license for wowza with the transcoder addon. I am currently streaming from a mobile device using GoCoder. I am able to access the streams using the ngrp:mystream\_all which consists of 360p, 240p and 160p streams. In the log file however I see “Hit License Limit for live stream transcoders”.

Hi,

If you have a Trancoder license for one channel, then it’s possible this limit could be hit if the GoCoder unpublishes the stream but then quickly publishes again,

before the transcoder AddOn has a chance to recognize this.

It could just be a matter of timing, but should clear up. If this prevents you from publishing at all, you should let us know.
