How to Install and Configure the Myriad Licensing Service

This guide explains how to install the Broadcast Radio Site Licensing Service and configure the associated client components. This is used to centrally manage license access across multiple Myriad v6 client PCs on your network.

⚠️ Before You Begin

• Back up all systems and settings before proceeding.

• These steps require administrator access on both the destination server and all client machines.

• The steps below assume a clean deployment to C:\BRSiteLicenseServer on the server.

Step 1: Download and Extract the Licensing Service Package

1. ? Click here to download the Licensing Service ZIP (placeholder link — replace with actual path).

2. Once downloaded, extract the contents to the following recommended location:

   C:\BRSiteLicenseServer
   

   This folder will now contain two subfolders:

   • Service – contains the service installer and binaries.

   • ClientConfiguration – contains the configuration files needed by client PCs.

 Step 2: Install the Licensing Service on the Server

1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator (right-click > Run as Administrator).

2. Change directory to the Service folder:

3. Run the installer script:

   InstallService.bat

   
   

4. As part of the script you will be prompted to enter your Myriad Playout Site License details and validate them.

5. After installation:

   • Open Services.msc.

   • Locate the installed service.

   • Confirm that:

     • Startup Type is set to Automatic (Delayed Start).

     • Status is Running.

Step 3: Configure Client Access

Share the Folder from the Server

1. Right-click C:\BRSiteLicenseServer\ClientConfiguration.

2. Select Properties > Sharing > Advanced Sharing.

3. Enable sharing and grant read permissions to all machines or user accounts that need to access it.

Step 4: Connect to the Licensing Service

Once the client configuration has been applied:

1. Launch the ClientConfiguration application on each PC - you will need Administrative rights on each computer.

2. When prompted, enter the hostname or IP address of the server where the Licensing Service was installed.

3. Click OK to confirm and connect.

4. Restart Myriad Playout and it will validate the license against the central service and proceed with normal operation.
