License needed? f4fpackager limits to 10 minute (600 s) duration

Hello

Do I need a license to use f4fpackager to encrypt and package locally? When I try, all results are limited during the package process to 10 minutes of runtime.

I am interested in using the tool only, not the FMS/AMS. During packaging, I would get the content encryption key from a Flash Access License Server we already have in place.

Is the 10 minute limit a licensing restriction? I cannot find any information on this sort of licensing. I am not quite sure I should even need a license, either, since we do have license to the Access license server.

Anyone have experience in local f4fpackaging of >10 minute content?

Thanks,

Hans

Yes - f4fpackager has license limit of 10 minutes and you will need AMS license in order to use its full functionality.

I saw one more query from you on another post - so just wanted to know whether you are seeing f4fpackager having limits on AMS 5.0.1 AWS AMI on EC2 or on some other standalone machine where you have AMS installed?

Hi SE_0208, thanks for your responses. The limitation is only on a stand-alone installed f4fpackager. Thanks! -Hans

Thank you for the info.

I looked through the procing and features information (at

http://www.adobe.com/products/adobe-media-server-family/buying-guide-pricing.html) and am unsure which license is needed. You seem to know your way around licensing, do you know if the Standard license would be sufficient?

Thanks!

Hans

Yes our Buying needs to be updated - its not in best of the shape. Yes Standard license should suffice to go beyond 10 minute packaging - but i would recommend go through all what is available for Standard and then make informed call. I know you have said you just are interested in just packaging and Adobe Access - but anyways since you are putting in money i would just suggest putting in more thought and seeing if in future you might want to use AMS for some reason or other and then don't want to find Standard Edition limiting you. You might still go for Standard but its my duty to suggest you to make better and informed call and see if Standard or Professional would serve you better in long run.
