About DigiTV Licences

Licensing is a new way to expand the functionality of your DigiTV application.

From time-to-time, developments will be made that will be of interest to a few users, but not to others. A good example is the Networking facility where the default capability of being able to stream to up to three client machines will suffice for most applications. There are however, instances where it is desirable to stream to more clients - in a school or college for example.

In order that people shouldn't have to pay for functions they will never use, we have split the more specialised facilities up into licensable units so that you only buy the bits you need.

There are currently 6 licences available split into three categories:

Networking: up to 5 connected clients

Networking: up to 10 connected clients

Networking: up to 40 connected clients

Networking: up to 1000 connected clients

Internet Protocol TV (IPTV): Allow unlimited use of the IPTV plugin (See IPTV licence explained for how it works)

High Definition TV (HDTV): Allow unlimited use of the HDTV plugin (H.264 format)

Each of the three categories also has an associated time limit after which it will expire. The default limit is 1 year after the licence is purchased, but this can be extended so that the licence will never expire for a small additional charge.

When you purchase a licence via the licensing settings page within the DigiTV application, you will be immediately supplied with a key for the requested licences that will expire after 72 hours. This gives us time to process your application (usually within 24 hours) and your full licence key will be emailed to you after processing is complete.

The licence key that is issued to you will be linked to the Master DigiTV tuner that is plugged in at the time the purchase is made. It will not work with any different DigiTV units except Slave devices plugged into the same computer. This is a security feature that prevents the sharing of licence keys, so please make sure that the relevant DigiTV Master tuner is present when you use the licensable functions.

All extra functionality plugins will allow use for a short time without a licence. Please make full use of this facility before you decide to purchase the relevant licence as refunds cannot be made after a licence has been issued.
