Wowza 4 – Amazon EC2 LicKey Licensing Setup

This tutorial explains how to setup Wowza 4 on a rented Amazon EC2 server using the LicKey Licensing.

First, you will need a Wowza account. You can obtain one here, and several different options are available. This will get you the Wowza key you will need to launch your server.

Next, you will need to obtain the Amazon AMI you wish to use, from this website, to launch your Amazon instance. At the present time, I am using ami-3dc2d954, which is Wowza 4.0.3.01.

Launch your Amazon EC2 server.

To manually install your license key each time, visit the Wowza Streaming Engine Manager:

  1. Launch your Wowza Streaming Engine for Amazon EC2 instance.
  2. Open a web browser and connect to your instance using the following URL: http://[public-domain-name]:8088
  3. Login using the user name wowza and the password, which is the Instance ID of the running Amazon EC2 instance.
  4. Click the Server tab in the top navigation bar to open the server configuration page.
  5. Click the Server Setup link in the contents pane.
  6. Click the Edit button and replace the multi-line key in the License Keys box with your subscription or perpetual license key and then click the Save button.
  7. The new license key will take effect after you click the Restart Now or Restart button on the top right of the page.
