FAQ

When will my licence be activated?
Your licence will be activated as of the date you sign your ITESlive agreement and consent to the terms and conditions of use.
What period does the ITESlive software agreement cover?
All ITESlive licences are for 12 months, whether you pay monthly or yearly.
Is it possible to have different types of licences in my display network?

It is only possible to combine Pro and Premium license types. For example, you may have screens using Premium licenses and screens using Pro licenses.

* It is not possible to combine the Starter license with other types of licenses.

How many licences do I need?

Display network

Generally speaking, one ITESlive licence is required for each media player, and one player is required for each screen. Note that the player can be connected to the screen or external.

Shema_1_licence

Some external media players have more than one video output. If so, note that a licence is required for each of your screens.

Shema_3_licences

Note: If you show exactly the same content on all of your screens, it doesn’t change anything in terms of the number of licences required.

Video wall

If you use several screens to create a larger display surface, you need only one licence. However, if you show different content on each of the screens in the video wall, you will need multiple licences.

Can I purchase the necessary equipment directly from ITESMEDIA?

ITESMEDIA can direct you towards a partner so you may complete the purchases for your digital signage project. This article outlines the equipment you need.

You can also use your own equipment if you prefer.

What kind of equipment do I need for a digital display setup?

A digital display setup requires a monitor and a media player. Please note that ITESlive can run both on a monitor with an integrated player and on an external media player.

Monitor

Media player

ITESMEDIA is compatible with digital signage players running on Android, Windows, BrightSign, and Linux.

For digital signage monitors equipped with a SoC (System on a Chip), the use of an external media player is not required.
