License

Scout is commercial software. A valid license key is required to use the plugin.

Validation and usage tracking require an outbound HTTPS connection from the AMS host to license20.raskenlund.net (port 443).

To obtain a license, contact Raskenlund.

License tiers

Scout is available in three tiers. Each tier includes all features of the tiers below it.

Tier	Features included
Standard	CMSD-Static header and manifest-tag injection; MQA on-device metrics (PSNR / SSIM / VMAF); CMSD-MQA header injection; web management UI; REST management API; Prometheus metrics export; MQA score ingest via REST receiver.
Integration	All Standard features. Intended for deployments that integrate Scout with external monitoring or quality-assessment pipelines.
Enterprise	All Integration features, plus quality alerting via webhook.

The resolved tier is logged at startup:

Scout: License tier resolved to STANDARD

Configuring the license key

Set licenseKey in /usr/local/antmedia/conf/scout.properties:

licenseKey: "YOUR-LICENSE-KEY"

License validation is asynchronous. Scout starts immediately and begins annotating streams once validation succeeds. If the host cannot reach license20.raskenlund.net, stream annotation is suspended and Scout retries validation automatically.
