The share name listed does not apply to the Interplay Streaming Server v2.4 or later (it was used
in the Interplay Stream Server v2.3 and earlier). The installer for the Interplay Streaming Server
v2.4 or later does not create this share. However, the share name is still listed and you cannot
remove it.
4. If you are upgrading from Interplay Stream Server v2.3 or earlier, existing stream servers are
listed in the Stream Server Settings area. Do one of the following:
t If you are using the same computer for Interplay Streaming Server v2.4 or later, you do
not need to replace the hostname of the server in the Server Hostname Settings view.
t If you want to install the v2.4 or later Streaming Server on a new host and keep the
existing Stream Server as a backup, you must rename the hostname of the existing
Stream Server. Click the Rename button, enter the name of the new host, and click OK.
Renaming the old Stream Server avoids the need for an additional license and preserves
indexing of reference movies if you reactivate the old Stream Server.
