Hi,

I’m using Wowza Service about a year without any trouble. And its running with Monthly license.

But All of sudden, my IP series got blocked listed by ISP and ISP ready to provide the new IP series. What will happen on licensing terms, if public IP got replaced. ?.

Note : Only IP sets will be changed. No Server/Hardware changes.

Someone can give quick reply on this ?.

Thanks

You will be able to simply restart Wowza to bind to the new IP address and carry on as normal.

Hi,

So long as you only run one instance of Wowza at a time with this license key then you should only be billed for that single running instance. Changing your IP address should not affect how this is calculated when on a monthly subscription.
