Dolby Digital Plus with Dolby Atmos encoder license.lic
Where / how do I obtain this licence in order to use the Dolby Digital Plus with Dolby Atmos encoder command line tool? /the tool is included with Dolby Atmos Renderer GUI and it runs, but it looks like it's expecting a licence file to exist at: C:\Program Files\Dolby\Dolby Atmos Renderer\dee\license.lic

    This is the error I get:

    C:\Program Files\Dolby\Dolby Atmos Renderer\dee>dee_ddpjoc_encoder -i adm.wav --input-format cbi_wav:height_trim_5_1=-6:surround_trim_5_1=-9 -o ddjoc.mp4

    Hi Sam,

    The version of DEE included in the Renderer is a stripped down DEE component just for the MP4 export function. It is not meant to be used outside the Renderer. If you are interested in getting the full version of DEE and and license file to run it, you'd need to purchase a subscription for the software. I can rope in some of my colleagues who can assist or you can apply for an evaluation license here:
    https://customer.dolby.com/content-creation-and-delivery/dolby-encoding-engine-with-dolby-ac-4-v550

    The best place to get support for DEE is with that team directly:
    dee-support@dolby.com

    Thanks,
    Adam
