vcast

Do I have to purchase a vCAST license for the host machine or for each connected device?

Starting in vSpace Pro 11.2.0 release, vCAST streaming is a standard feature in vSpace and requires no additional license. We recommend our customers to migrate to the latest vSpace Pro 11.3 LTS version to receive the most benefit.
