FairPlay Streaming Certificate for Evaluation Customers
In an evaluation environment, Axinom’s own FPS Data Set can be used to speed up initial playback trials. This Data Set is used automatically when Axinom’s FairPlay certificate is utilized on the player-side. This certificate is available here.
However, for production purposes, you must obtain your own FPS certificate. It is important to note that Axinom’s certificate is strictly for evaluation and testing.
The certificate is only being used by evaluation users who have not yet applied for their own Production certificates from Apple, or who run a separate test environment where the use of a Test certificate is preferred. Please note that we don't guarantee its availability .
Apple has explicitly stated that content owners must have their own certificate for production.
Therefore, we strongly recommend that you obtain your own FairPlay Streaming certificate prior to upgrading to production. Obtaining your FairPlay Streaming certificate can be a time-consuming process. Play it safe and plan for this to potentially take several weeks. This ensures compliance with Apple’s policies and the continued availability of the necessary certificate for your production environment.
