Setup and activation¶
Demo version features¶
Limited by 10 streams
Software CPU transcoding method only
No limitations of functionality
No time limitations
Temporary activation and launch¶
For trial version without streams count limitation. After installation, the pss service is inactive because activation is required to start. To temporarily activate, run the script:
$ /opt/pss/tools/activate.sh
The pss service will be started and configured to autostart. You can check for a successful launch:
$ systemctl status pss
For problems, see the logs:
$ tail -n 20 /var/log/pss/main.log
$ journalctl -u pss -n 20
Initial settings¶
Connect via a browser to the web interface:
http://host:8808
Login: admin
Password: admin
Be sure to change the login to the web interface, section Configuration/Administration/Administrators List.
Change, if necessary, the port to the web interface, section Configuration/HTTP Server. The service will be restarted.
You can check the activation data via the web interface in the section Configuration/About.
Permanent activation¶
- The security system supports software (SL) and USB (HL) keys. For permanent activation:
In the web interface in the Configuration/About section, get the C2V data for an activation request and send it to the supplier.
Enter the V2C data received from the provider, from a file or from the clipboard, in the same section of the web interface.
Check activation data in the same section of the web interface.
For Perfect Streamer to detect the USB key while the trial license is active, the PSS service must be restarted. This can be done through the web portal at: Configuration — Maintenance — Reboot. Alternatively, when the trial license expires, the service will switch to the permanent USB key on its own.
Yearly license or Trial expiration¶
If the PSS service cannot be started, enter the command:
$ journalctl -u pss -n 20
The following error means that the Perfect Streamer license has expired:
LDK Protection System: Feature has expired (H0041)
