Billing
Each account can apply for one free mobile player trial license and one web player trial license via the VOD console or CSS console to experience and test the product. The first application provides a 14-day validity period, which can be renewed in the console for another 14 days, totaling 28 days. Mobile and web trial licenses have separate application counts and durations. A mobile license can be associated with one iOS application Bundle ID and one Android application Package Name, while a web license can be associated with up to ten precise domains. Associating a license with an application/domain provides the corresponding authorization without distinction between business environments. If multiple applications need to be integrated, the corresponding number of licenses must be purchased for binding.
Domain Name Description:
A precise domain refers to a specific fixed domain address, such as: a.com, a.b.com, a.b.c.com and other unique and fixed domain addresses.
A wildcard domain refers to a series of domain addresses with the same domain suffix, such as a wildcard domain *.a.com associated with a license. It allows a.a.com, b.a.com, c.a.com and other domains with the same suffix to unlock package capabilities. The * position can support custom definitions of multi-level domains, such as b.c.a.com and b.c.d.a.com.
An application supports changing the associated license. The authorization validity period for changing the application is the validity period of the newly associated license. The replaced license can be used to associate with other applications, and its validity period remains unchanged.
New License Validity Period Example
A customer purchased the Player Mobile Premium Version License A on July 1, 2022, at 11:36:59, and associated it with iOS application A1 and Android application A2. Later, on July 2, 2022, at 11:36:59, the customer purchased another Player Mobile Premium Version License, obtained its License B, and associated it with iOS application B1 and Android application B2. Therefore:
The validity period of Player Mobile Premium Version License A is from July 1, 2022, 11:36:59 to August 2, 2022, 00:00:00.
The validity period of Player Mobile Premium Version License B is from July 2, 2022, 11:36:59 to August 3, 2022, 00:00:00.
Applications A1, A2, B1, and B2 all receive authorization to use features of the Player SDK Mobile Premium Version. Meanwhile, the authorization validity period for applications A1 and A2 is based on the validity of License A, and for applications B1 and B2, it is based on the validity of License B.
Validity Period Update Example
Based on the previous example, the same customer purchased the Player Mobile Premium Version License C on December 1, 2022, 15:48:12, and used License C to renew applications A1 and A2. As a result:
The validity period of Player Mobile Premium Version License C is from August 1, 2022, 15:48:12 to September 2, 2022, 00:00:00. When renewing for applications A1 and A2, License C will replace the originally affiliated License A with applications A1 and A2.
Since an application's authorization validity period is based on the actual affiliated License's validity period, the renewal changes the validity period of applications A1 and A2 to that of License C, which is from August 1, 2022, 15:48:12 to September 2, 2022, 00:00:00. Thus, the authorization validity period of applications A1 and A2 is extended from the original August 2, 2022, 00:00:00 to September 2, 2022, 00:00:00.
After License C becomes affiliated with applications A1 and A2, the originally affiliated License A with applications A1 and A2 will naturally disaffiliate, while the validity period of License A remains unchanged, still serving as an available License resource that can be affiliated with other applications.
Other Related Cloud Services Fee
In addition to license fees, using the Player SDK may also incur the following service fees. Related fees will not be generated if the related services are not used.
Video on Demand (VOD)
Tencent Cloud’s VOD service provides functions such as video upload, storage, transcoding, acceleration distribution playback, copyright protection, and play quality monitoring. Billing of VOD:
Storage fees are charged based on the storage space used by files uploaded to VOD and their transcoding outputs.
If you transcode files stored in VOD, transcoding fees are charged based on the specifications and durations of the outputs.
If you use VOD’s acceleration service to deliver videos, acceleration fees will be charged based on the traffic consumed for playback.
Cloud Streaming Services (CSS)
CSS offers capabilities including live stream receiving, on-cloud recording, live transcoding, live screencapture, and live stream delivery and playback. If you need to use related functions, we recommend you use CSS. Using CSS to receive and deliver live streams will incur basic service fees, which are charged based on the traffic/bandwidth consumed.
Using CSS features such as live transcoding (including stream mixing and watermarking), live recording, live screencapture, RTC-based co-anchoring, and relay to CDN will incur value-added service fees.
