Installing a Floating License for Maxwell Render 4

Installing a Floating License for Maxwell Render 4

Once you have installed your first instance of a Maxwell Render license, along with the RLM license server, you are ready to set up installs on other machines to take advantage of the floating license now running on RLM.

 

Steps to follow..

  • Visit the Maxwell Render portal and log in with your gateway credentials
  • Download the installer you require (if you don't already have this from your first install, or are now installing on a different OS)
  • Install Maxwell Render on your new machine
  • Open Maxwell Render
  • When prompted to license your install, do the following:

    Select Maxwell Network licensing

    Select the option to connect to your existing RLM server. You will then be prompted to enter the IP of the computer running RLM:

    IP address prompt


    Enter the IP address of the machine running RLM. This can be found under Network Information > Local Area Connection > Properies in Windows, or in Network in the System Preferences on a Mac.

    Enter IP

    Once completed, you will see the success screen:
    Maxwell floating license successfully installed

 

If you experience any issues, please check the following:

  • Your firewalls must be open on ports 5053 and 5054.
  • On the machine running RLM, you can visit http://localhost:5054 in your browser to check RLM is running
  • All machines must be on the same network
  • The license must have been successfully installed on the RLM machine
  • You will only be able to run as many Maxwell Render instances as you have licenses available.
