Purchased / assigned products

...

In this first group, you can find the active licenses that can be handled from the portal (Maxwell Render v3 and newer). It shows the following information:

  • Product name: the license gives access to this product.

  • Activation key: also called license key; it is a unique set of characters that represents a specific license. This is the one that has to be used in Maxwell's License Activator along with your portal's email and password to activate the license as explained here: Floating license activation or here: Node-Locked license activation.

  • Type: the license can be either Node Locked or Floating; you can learn more about them here: License types.

  • GUIs: this represents the part of the license that allows exporting the scene from the 3D application or Studio to Maxwell Render (it basically allows writing mxs files). 

  • Nodes: this represents the part of the license that allows rendering the scene either in Maxwell Render or the Network System (it basically allows generating mxi files from the mxs one).

  • Host ID: when the license is activated it is tied to a particular computer; this host ID is the MAC address of the first network card of the computer where the license is activated. It is automatically set by Maxwell's License Activator or it can be set manually. In this page, entry #7 you can learn different ways of finding your computer's host ID. If there's no host ID set, the license has not been activated yet.

  • Created on: this is the date when the license was generated.

  • Expiry date: the license will stop working on the day shown here unless the license is permanent.

  • Actions: using these buttons you can either assign the first host ID to your license (orange one) or download the already activated license file (green).


Product list

In this group are listed all the products you own (only Maxwell Render 3 or newer). You can have several licenses of the same product; all of them will show under the same product name.

  • Name: product name

  • Type: most commonly it will be "Software", but it can also be "Support", or different types of product that we can start selling in the future.

  • Units: number of licenses owned of that particular product.

  • Actions: this information button shows a list of each license details of that particular product such as license creation date, version of the product, the related software name, etc.
