Trail Version License: Each functional module can only apply for a trail License once, and each functional module can be renewed for free once (the Terminal TSC does not support self-renewal. If you need to modify the validity period, please contact the business or submit a ticket). For long-term use, it is recommended to purchase an official License. If you apply for a trail renewal during the trial period, the expiration time of the renewal will be based on the time of applying for the trail; if you apply for a trail renewal after the trial period ends, the expiration time of the renewal will be based on the time of applying for the trail renewal.

The review usually takes 1 - 2 working days. If the submission time is 2022-05-24 12:34:11 and the approval time is 2022-05-25 17:56:24, then the start time is 2022-05-25 17:56:24, and the expiration time after 1 year is 2023-05-26 00:00:00.

Created Multiple Tencent Cloud RT-Cube Licenses, Are the License URL and License Key the Same?
The Tencent Cloud RT-Cube Licenses under the same account have the same default License URL and License Key for easy maintenance and management.
Is the Resource Package Associated With the License Only Available For This License?
The daily traffic settlement postpaid consumption generated by the live streaming playback domain under this account can be deducted. The association of the resource package is only used to synchronize the validity period. The traffic in it is not limited to License usage (the usage of the License will not be affected even if the traffic is used up).
For example:
User A is billed by daily traffic settlement postpaid. He purchased a 10TB live streaming playback domain traffic resource package and a 50TB live streaming playback domain traffic resource package, and created License A and License B respectively:
License A corresponds to an App using the domain name abc.com for playback, generating 20 TB of playback traffic.
License B corresponds to an App using the domain name def.com for playback, generating 30 TB of playback traffic.
As long as abc.com and def.com are the playback domains of live streaming under user A's Cloud Streaming Services account, the purchased 10TB + 50TB resource package can be deducted. After the deduction, there will be 10TB of traffic left in user A's live streaming traffic resource package.
Can Purchasing a Live Stream License Be Used For Mini Program Live Streams?
Not supported. The live stream License is only applicable to Apps on iOS and Android platforms when using the live stream Streaming (host starting a live stream and host-audience co - anchoring/host cross - room PK) functional modules. For mini programs to access the live stream function, corresponding service categories must be in place first. For details, see Scheme selection.
Why Does an Available Resource Pack Increase and a License Decrease After Upgrading the New Version License?
The new version of the License adds duplicate package name verification logic. When multiple similar Licenses are bound to the same set of package names (Bundle ID and Package Name), in fact, only one License will take effect. We will unbind the invalid and shorter-validity License binding relationships, release the resource packages of invalid bindings for you, and the released resource packages can be bound to new Licenses for use.
Example:
User A previously purchased two 10 TB live streaming traffic resource packages (with different expiration dates), received two live streaming Licenses, and bound the same set of package names twice (in fact, only one License was valid). After upgrading to Tencent Cloud RT-Cube Licenses, only the binding of the License with the longer validity period is retained; the other License with the shorter validity period is unbound, and the 10TB resource package is released. User A can bind a new License again.
Why Does a Subaccount Get an Unauthorized Prompt When Opening the Audio and Video Terminal SDK (Tencent Cloud RT-Cube) Console?
Screenshot of the issue:
Problem analysis:
The Tencent Cloud Video Cube Console requires the root account to independently authorize policies for sub-accounts before accessing the console page.
If you only need to provide sub-accounts with read-only permission to access the Audio and Video Terminal SDK Console, please authorize the QcloudVCUBEReadOnlyAccess policy.
If you need to provide sub-accounts with all operation permissions to access the Audio and Video Terminal SDK, please authorize the QcloudVCUBEFullAccess policy.
For association guidelines on associating policies for users/user groups to authorize relevant operation permissions, see Policy Authorization Management.
Why Can'T Messages Related to Audio and Video Terminal SDK Products and Licenses Be Received?
You can subscribe to the audio and video terminal SDK in Message Subscription and configure message reception channels such as Internal Messages/Email/Short Message Service/WeChat/WeCom to receive expiry reminders for the official License. The official License will send you an expiration reminder once at 30 days, 15 days, 7 days, and 1 day before the expiration time, reminding you to renew in time to avoid affecting normal business operations.
