License Management
The vxls.bin license file
The file that contains the required licensing information is named
vxls.bin
and it is stored
on the Xmedia Server in the following directory location:
C:\Program Files\VertigoXmedia\Apps
You will also notice that the
Apps
folder (figure
8-1
) also contains a series of ten similarly
named files that use the following format:
• 4_8_vxls_1.bin
• 4_8_vxls_2.bin
• 4_8_vxls_3.bin
These files are backups of the license file that get updated and archived every time the XMS
service is restarted. In the case where the primary license file (
vxls.bin
) gets corrupted,
then you can always revert to a functioning version of the license file.
Figure 8-1. The license file (vxls.bin) and its backups are stored in the Apps folder on the XMS
