180-day developer license no longer available?

Hi,

We have a paid annual license for Wowza Streaming Engine, and we’ve been using a developer license for our test server. These used to last six months so we only had to rotate the license twice a year, but now the developer license links (e.g. from this answer which references the 180-day license) all go to the trial page, which is only a 30-day license.

We’re running Wowza in a Docker swarm and it’s a somewhat involved and annoying process to switch out the license keys, so it’s becoming quite frustrating to have to do this every 30 days. Is there any provision for a longer developer license for paying customers?

Thanks,

They deactivated the 180 days licenses somewhere in august this year without any notice to the community. I also use the developer license for testing and bugfixing. Running several testing servers with different setups.
You can renew the trials every 30 days, but i would also like to see it back to 180 days.
I requested the same question on our business account, but found out i was able to renew them after 30 days anyway, so i canceled the ticket.

If you still want it as a paying customer i would suggest to create a support ticket in your business acount. You will get a quicker response there than on the forum. And maybe they can grant you a longer testing period.

It’s not that big of a deal for me, I create my own wowza installers, So i have a server setup in a couple of minutes.

Good thought, thanks. I’ve filed a ticket.
