The player SDK provides capabilities for both Live streaming playback and VOD playback. You can apply for a free player license to experience it in the VOD console, the CSS console, or the TRTC console, and add a new license or extend the validity of an existing license. This document is used to show you how to bind an official license to a new application, and how to extend the validity of an existing capability.
Note:
The player SDK can be authorized for use by applying for a Video playback License for free, or by purchasing either a Live streaming license or a UGSV License. If you have already purchased a Live streaming license or a UGSV License, you can also obtain the authorization to use the player SDK without separately applying for a Video playback License. For more information on Live Streaming License, see License Billing Overview and Adding and Renewing a License. For more information on UGSV License, see License Pricing Overview and Adding and Renewing a License.
