License Dedicated Wiretap Gateway Software for Linux Products

You cannot use a Wiretap Gateway on a dedicted system until it is licensed. Although they still appear in the network tree in applications, unlicensed Wiretap Gateways block all media I/O. When you attempt to play or import media through an unlicensed Wiretap Gateway, the operation fails and an “Unlicensed” error message is returned. To license Wiretap Gateway through a remote (network) license server (Linux or OS X):

1. On the machine running Wiretap Gateway create /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/DL_licenseNetwork.dat.
2. Add the lines:

   SERVER <license_server_machine_name> 0
   VENDOR discreet_l
   USE_SERVER

To license (node locked) Wiretap Gateway (Linux or Mac machine):

1. On the Wiretap Gateway system in a terminal, get the Discreet host ID of the system with

   /usr/local/bin/dlhostid 
   

   This should return something like: The Discreet host ID of this machine is “DLHOST01=25231AEF83AD9D5E9B2FA270DF4F20B1”.
2. Send the Discreet host ID line (e.g. everything in quotations marks, above) to Autodesk M&E Licensing:me.licensing@autodesk.com. You can immediately acquire a 4-day license code via the emergency license generator at http://melicensing.autodesk.com/templicensing/. To speak to a licensing representative call the Licensing Department in North America at 1-800-925-6442, 08:00-20:00 EST. Outside of North America, call 1-514-954-7199.
3. Carefully add the code to the license file /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/DL_license.dat.
4. Save the license file and restart Wiretap Gateway with /etc/init.d/wiretapgateway restart.
