Hello,

I have a Flash Media Server 2 Professional Edition license (25Mbps, 2500 connections).

Currently I work with one server as "master" server.

Now I want to install one EDGE server.  As I understand I have to buy one more license for this new edge server, but I can't find where to but it.

I need this license for FMS 2.0.5 version, but there are everywhere FMS 3 licences in stores only.

Could anyone help me and advise what better to do in this case?

    Hi notFish,

    The reason you are not finding 2.0.5 because to best of my knowledge Adobe has stopped selling 2.0. So I suppose what you can do is upgrade your existing Origin box from 2.0.5 to 3.5 and buy new 3.5 license for edge. I can definitely say its worth it , please check this link:

    http://store.adobe.com/store/en_us/popup/software/flashmediainteractivesvr3_5/reasonstoupgrade.html - it lists down all reasons to upgrade and if I am not mistaken those are reasons from 3.0 to 3.5 - so there would be more reasons from 3.0 to 3.5 like features like Multi-Point Publish which helps live broadcasting workflow just to name one. Also from 3.0, FMS has two flavors - FMIS and FMSS so you can check which one suits your needs. Also we no more out limit like you had in 2.0.5 of 25 Mbps and 2500 connections), you can bump as much as you machine can handle gracefully.

    Now coming to eligibilty for upgrade you can check : http://store.adobe.com/store/en_us/popup/software/flashmediainteractivesvr3_5/upgrade_eligibility.html

    And for pricing check below link (Choose UPG from Flash Media Server 2.x from Version drop down)

    Hope this helps

    It will cost about 4500(full EDGE)+3500(upgrade ORIGIN)=8000$... against ~1000$ for one license of FMS 2
