Hey Victor,

Is your question why you’re getting that error? That has been asked before on the forums.

I believe the answer is that the developer license only allows you to transcode a single stream at a time.

```auto
But I'm only using 1 transcode for testing

Hi, @Aaron Boushley

I get the same error with my Developer License. Looks like some trouble in the latest version of Wowza with Developer licenses.
