How Digital Signage Licenses Work

[mjstrand]

The way the StrandVision Digital Signage license system works:

1) it allows all players to run up to 4 hours in a week
2) the hours are accumulated in 5 minute consecutive playback chunks (so previewing signage for a minute does not count)
3) if there are too many players, it tries to keep properly installed ones running first, view signage ones second
4) the player with the least used time is the one that loses the license (and shows license trouble message)
5) the license is released once a player has stopped playing for 15 minutes
