Yes, you can upgrade without loosing any data. Please note that BeeSmart LITE comes with 32 bit Centos OS, while recommended OS for the
production system is 64 bit RHEL 5.3. Because of this, system should be reinstalled using automatic installation for the BeeSmart production
system. Before starting new installation, you dump the BeeSmart LITE DB, then install the new system. During the automatic installation you are
asked to provide DB dump, which is then inserted automatically in the DB, and your data is preserved. For the end you only need to upgrade the
DB to the latest BeeSmart release using provided SQL script. Please note that HW used for the BeeSmart LITE should fulfill minimum
requirements for the Full BeeSmart system in order to use it. Otherwise you will need to provide new HW for the installation. Please contact us at

Can I use some other STB that is not on the list of currently supported STBs?
In theory BeeSmart Lite can run on any STB that supports Ekioh’s SVG engine. If your STB does not support Ekioh SVG engine but you would
like to do so, please contact your STB vendor or Ekioh for further information ( ). However for successful operation, MWhttp://www.ekioh.com/
needs to understand remote keys that STB is using. If STB is not supported on the BeeSmart LITE it means that some STB specific key codes
might not work or some other features might have issues. Only BeeSmart certified STB devices are 100% tested.
There are many head-ends, CAS and VOD servers that need to be integrated to have complete IPTV system. Are these
services provided by BeeSmart?
For BeeSmart Lite we do assume that customers will make a configuration of it by themselves and this can easily be done by using Administration
guide that is available at the same site as BeeSmart Lite application. Basically any VOD server using standards RTSP should work with BeeSmart
Lite, and we have experiences with Edgeware, Espial/Kasenna, Anevia and Bitband. Once you have a project of 500 customers in gated
community then you should use Full BeeSmart version and with this version you may order also professional services of the configuration and
integration.
What VOD servers are supported with BeeSmart Lite?
BeeSmart officially supports Espial MediaBase VoD, Anevia VoD, Edgeware VoD and Bitband VoD servers. BeeSmart Lite can be used also with
any other VOD server that supports RTSP streaming, for VoD play outs only. You must make sure that the STB model, that you are using,
understands the RTSP dialect of your preferred VOD server. In the Admin, please make sure that you use the Edgeware Orbit type of the VoD
server.
Does BeeSmart Lite support VOD?
With BeeSmart Lite you can prepare your own VOD library for your customers with unlimited number of movie. But BeeSmart Lite package does
not contain the VOD server itself. Select any of your preferred VOD servers and just configure BeeSmart Lite to start using it.
