Hi everyone! I’m in doubt of what can be a simple question about license… I want to use de wowza player code with a m3u8 stream, but the server is not a wowza server, so I don’t have a license. In this scenario, what should I do with the license in the code? Is ok to use only the player anyway? _Embed the Wowza Player (place after the HTML code from #2)_ _WowzaPlayer.create(‘playerElem\*\*ent’,_ _{_ **_"license":“PLAY1-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx”,_** _“title”:"",_ _“description”:"",_ \*“sourceURL”:"[https://url/name.stream/\*](https://url/name.stream/*)_playlist.m3u8",_ _…_ Thanks ---

Hello @Denilson Rocha, Wowza Player is available only as part of Wowza Streaming Engine/Cloud. If you do not own those products, then you would not be able to use Wowza Player at this time. Regards, Alex ---

Just asked a closely similar question. We currently have wowza streaming engine running in AWS and we are trying to use a different player as flash is being dropped by different browsers. I was able to find the license key under [WowzaStreamingEngine/conf/Server.license. But when I use the key in the wowza player I get Illegal license key format. ---

@Alex C Is the license under WowzaStreamingEngine/conf/Server.licencse the correct one to use as license value in Wowza Player? If true could be the reason of getting **Illegal license key format** ---

Hi @Alex C thank you for responding. My Wowza Streaming Cloud Engine Menu looks like this. wowzacloud.png The Wowza Player Menu does not show under when I select an application. Is this because I am using a different version of wowza from what you have. This is the version I have **Wowza Streaming Engine 4 for Amazon EC2 4.0.3.01 build11149** ---

Hi @Leandre Mucyo Please update to the latest version of Wowza Engine, it will have the Wowza Player option in the Manager UI. Update details: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-update-your-wowza-streaming-engine-installation](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-update-your-wowza-streaming-engine-installation) Once updated, try using Wowza Player then.
