Hello @nanang ismail, is this a trial license or a paid Wowza License? The trial license only allows one transcoder. If you have a Pro version license, our software does not limit the number of transcoders.

Keep in mind: The server capacity will limit the number of transcoders because of heavy CPU/GPU load. Generally, 2-8 transcoded streams per server depending on server size.

I hope that helps. Let me know please.
