You will need to enter your Wowza Media Server 2 license key as part of this process. If you are not sure what it is you can find it by opening this file with a text editor:
\\\conf \Server.license
You will receive a new Wowza Media Server3 license key once your application has been approved. Once you have the new key here are the steps for upgrading to Wowza Media Server 3.
1) Make a backup of your Wowza Server 2 Directory.
2) Uninstall Wowza Media Server 2, but leave all the files in the Wowza Directory (DO NOT UNINSTALL before you get your Wowza Media Server 3 license key).
3) Download and Install Wowza Media Server 3 – be sure to specify installation in the same Wowza Directory location where you had Wowza Server 2 previously installed. This will enable you to retain all your current application settings so that everything will work normally once you complete the install.
