Is Wowza installation required to use Wowza IDE?

[uniticon]

Hello everyone,

I read the User's Guide PDF and in the "Before Installation" section, it states:

"... To develop Wowza Media Server modules and server extensions, installation of Wowza Server is required."

I have a paid license of Wowza 3 (monthly) running on a datacenter server in Ubuntu. Can I point Wowza IDE to that server? It is still in staging process so it's not a production server or anything.

Otherwise, how would I get a free license to extend Wowza through modules?

Thank you!

EDIT:
I signed up for Dev license and now I'm well on my way. Thank you!
