I own a floating license, and at least two computers in a network. The RLM is running, but RealFlow | Cinema 4D is still unlicensed
Here you have to differentiate between the client and the computer with the RLM. On the computer with the RLM installed, the license and next limit.set files have to be stored here:
...
| OS X | /Users/shared/Next Limit/rlm_nl |
|---|---|
| Windows | C:\Program Files\Next Limit\RealFlow Cinema4D 1\rlm |
If RealFlow is running on a client machine it has to "know" where the RLM server is located in your network as shown in the image above. To establish the connection you can
- store a file on every client, called "host.lic" in the "realflow" folder in your user account's home directory (see table below). This file requires a single entry:
HOST ip_of_computer_with_RLM_installed ANY 5053
The → host.lic file has (see → "Floating : OS X" or → "Floating : Windows" ) file has to be installed on all every computer computers you want to use:
| OS X | /Users/<username>/Documents/realflow_cinema4d/license |
|---|---|
Windows |
|
...
When you get this message port 5053 is most probably used by another instance of RLM already. In this case, please read the → "Floating : RLM" chapter.
