Scope
This article applies to the Z/IPStream X/20 software streaming and processing platform.
Z/IPStream X/20 is the successor to the highly regarded Z/IPStream X/2 and represents the next-generation Telos Alliance® software streaming and processing platform.
This article does not apply to the Z/IPStream X/2 software.
If you are upgrading.
The X/20 software uses different License keys and a different license method than the X/2 software. If you are upgrading, you must purchase this new version from a Telos Dealer.
X/20 and its license model require internet access for activation, as well as a continued connection to remain in an active licensed state. Computers used for streaming are generally on the internet, so this is generally not a problem. For firewall purposes, the license server is at secure2.telos-systems.com and uses port 42131.
The free upgrade to X/20 ended on October 31, 2024.
If you have not been provided with updated keys, please do not proceed. If you have already been provided with your keys either as an upgrade or a new purchase, please continue.
