Licensing

Transcription:BatchReal-TimeDeployments:Container

To run our containers you need a license. To get a license you need to speak to Support.

The license is easy to pass into the container deployment either as a file or a environment variable. Licensing does not require network access and works in offline deployments.

License Structure​

The contents of the file received should look similar to this:

{
  "contractid": 1,
  "creationdate": "2020-03-24 17:43:35",
  "customer": "Speechmatics",
  "id": "c18a4eb990b143agadeb384cbj7b04c3",
  "is_trial": true,
  "metadata": {
    "key_pair_id": 1,
    "request": {
      "customer": "Speechmatics",
      "features": ["MAPBA", "LANY"],
      "isTrial": true,
      "notValidAfter": "2021-01-01",
      "validFrom": "2020-01-01"
    }
  },
  "signedclaimstoken": "exampleClaimsToken"
}

The validFrom and notValidAfter keys in the license file specify the start and end dates for the validity of your license. The license is valid from 00:00 UTC on the start date to 00:00 UTC on the expiry date. After the expiry date, the Container will continue to run but will not transcribe audio. You should apply for a new license before this happens.

Volume Mapping in a License File​

The license file should be mapped to the path /license.json within the Container.

For example:

docker run -v ./my_license.json:/license.json batch-asr-transcriber-en:12.0.1

Setting the License with an Environment Variable​

For example, copy the signedclaimstoken value from the license file and set the LICENSE_TOKEN environment variable:

docker run -e LICENSE_TOKEN=exampleClaimsToken batch-asr-transcriber-en:12.0.1

There should be no reason to do this, but if both a volume-mapped file and an environment variable are provided simultaneously then the volume-mapped file will be ignored.
