Accessing BTV server from remote machine

[kcongdon]

Hello all,

I have been developing a custom app to access the BTV server in VB.NET using BeyondTVLibrary.dll. Everything is working fine. I have been developing the app on my BTV machine. Now I am ready for testing on remote machines, but I get the following error when I try to connect:

"Server was unable to process request. --> This license cannot be used to access this server remotely."

Do I need a different license key to access the server from a client machine?

I can connect using WebAdmin from all of my test machines.

Thanks.

Yes you need to install BTV-Link or such on your development machine, which gives you 21 days with the trial version... It seems that with version 4 that limitation might be partialy lifted.

So I will need to pass a different license key when I connect to the BTV Server in my code, correct?
That would be the license key that I receive with BTV Link?

IE:
myLicense = New BeyondTVLibrary.BTVLicenseManager(BTVServerMachine Name, 8129)

myLicense.Logon(BTVLINKLicense, BTVPassword)


Thanks

Yes, you need to pass the license of the machine on which your application is running.

Yeah, got a BTV Link license key and that did the trick...

thanks!
