Question

Flash Media Server 2.0 patches

Hi,

We want to carry out a long overdue update to our Flash Media Server, which is at version 2.0

1. One concern I have is licensing. We have a 100-user, unlimited bandwidth license. As I understand it, version 2.0.1 introduced licensing profiles. The closest matching profile is for 150 users. I'm not sure - can I select that, or create my own profile so we can use our existing licenses? Or have I misunderstood what the profiles are for?

2. Also, I notice that the existing FMS needs to be uninstalled and then 2.0.1 installed. Is this the case with subsequent patches? I couldn't find a specific answer in the release notes. If so, could I just install 2.0.5 and would that include all the maintenance updates for previous releases?

Sorry if these are obvious questions. I've never updated FMS 2.0, so I just want to make sure it goes well :)

Thanks for your time,

Ajay P

    Jody, that's exactly what I wanted to know.

    I'm currently testing in a development system and hopefully I'll upgrade the live one soon.

    Thanks,

    Ajay

    Hi Ajay,

    1. Yes, you can use the default 150 user profile.
    2. Every installation is a complete installation, not a patch or an update, so you can skip 2.0.1 etc. and install 2.0.5.

    Good luck,
    Jody

    Hi Jody,

    I have a quick question regarding licensing. On my test system I was able to put in the existing 100-user license into the FMS 2.0.5 Management Console. Whereas in version 2 I had 100 peak connections available, with 2.0.5 I now have 150.

    I have no problem with this!

    I just wanted to know if that's because of the updated licensing system in 2.0.5 - i.e. is this by design?

    Thanks again,

    Ajay
