We offer three types of media SDK (RT-Cube) licenses: live stream publishing, UGSV, and video playback. For their billing details, see Billing Overview. After purchasing a license, you can bind it in the TRTC console, the CSS console, or the VOD console to activate a new capability or extend the validity of an existing capability. The capabilities different licenses can activate are as follows:
License
Capabilities
Live stream publishing
Live stream publishing + Video playback
UGSV
UGSV (Lite/Standard) + Video playback
Video playback
Video playback
notice
Starting from v10.1, the live stream publishing license and UGSV license can also activate the video playback capability. This means you can now use the video playback capability of the Player SDK with a live stream publishing license or UGSV license.
This document uses the live stream publishing license as an example to show you how to activate a capability using a trial or official license, and how to extend the validity of an existing capability.
