systemctl restart flussonic

-----END FLUSSONIC LICENSE-----

curl -X POST -d "key=YOUR-KEY" http://localhost:8080/flussonic/api/license
Even experienced admins encounter license issues. Here is a troubleshooting checklist.
| Error Message | Likely Cause | Solution |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| ERROR: License key has been revoked | The key was used on multiple servers or payment failed. | Contact Erlyvideo support. Do not buy keys from unauthorized resellers. |
| Network error while validating license | Firewall blocking outbound HTTPS (port 443). | Whitelist license.erlyvideo.com and api.github.com (for update checks). |
| License file corrupted | File encoding issues (e.g., Windows CRLF line endings). | Convert to Unix format: dos2unix license.txt. |
| Feature 'transcoding' is not allowed | You have a basic streaming license but attempted to transcode. | Either disable transcoding or upgrade to a higher-tier license. |
| Too many cameras (limit 32) | Watcher license limit exceeded. | Remove unused cameras or purchase channel expansion pack. | Then restart the container
