Clearing the Web Start Cache
Any time that you downgrade software, you must clear the cache from the Java Web Start. Older
versions of the BNP Element Manager use Web Start when the BNP Element Manager is started. This is
only needed when you change to a software version previous to the current one.
To clear the Java Web Start cache (on a Windows system)
1. From the Windows Start Menu, select Settings -> Control
Panel -> Java to launch the Java Control Panel.
2. From the Temporary Internet Files section, click the
Settings button
3. At the Temporary Files Settings screen now on display, click
Delete Files and OK.
4. Click Advanced tab, and check to ensure that the
Application and Applets and Trace and Log Files boxes
are checked.
5. Click to clear the cache and close the Java Control
OK
application.

Managing Licenses

The determination of what type of license is used for a particular transport stream and its bandwidth is
made when you configure an output transport stream. A transport stream can only be assigned to a
license type after the license has been installed. For more information on configuring various types of
output transport streams, see the relevant sections in the Grooming and PSIP chapter of the BNP User
Guide.
BNP licensing is based on the total bandwidth of output multiplexes where each Mux can be MPTS or
SPTS. An associated license allows the creation of as many Mux or programs as will fit in the licensed
bandwidth. For example, z40 Mbps Mux allows a MPTS with programs averaging at around 2.5 Mbps,
or 10 CBR SPTS programs at 4 Mbps.
All license keys are tied to the serial number of the compact flash card, which allows flash portability
and access to stored configurations.
