Hey guys,

I have an up and running Wowza 3.5 on a linux box that has about 3 livestreams from IP cameras…

I have upgraded my license to Streaming Engine 4, my question is:

What would be the best way to install the new version?

Should I just delete the wowza folder and follow the version 4 installation steps? or is there something like “sudo apt-get unistall wowza”?

Thank you!
