HippoLicenser is a application used by customers to check the status of a software assurance license across any of the Hippotizer media server product range. The HippoLicenser can be installed simulataneously alongside any installation of Hippotizer V4. The application shows a readout of the detected license information, including the 'Feature Releases Remaining' value, which states how many future versions will be licensed.
