Excerpt

Many applications use RLM for license management. If you are already running a RLM License Server you do not need to install an additional license server for Maxwell but you can reuse the existing one. In order to do so please follow these steps:

  • Download the file nextlimit.set (it's in a zip archive so unzip it after download) and copy it where the existent RLM executable ("rlm.exe" in Windows, just "rlm" in OSX and Linux) is located.
  • Copy the maxwell_suite_floating.lic file generated with the license activator to where the rest of the license files are located. 
  • Send a reread command to the RLM License Server to load the Maxwell Render license file. You can do this by opening a browser window in the computer that's running the RLM License Server, typing in localhost:5054 and in the RLM interface that appears, press the Reread/Restart servers link from the left hand side, then the Reread/Restart button on the page that appears.

 

 

Note

The RLM Licensing system cannot work in virtual environments, i.e VMARE, Amazon cloud, Parallels or other virtual environments.

 

 

Warning

It is only necessary to install ONE instance of RLM on your entire network and NOT on each of the computers that will run Maxwell. Installing several instances of the RLM License Server on your network can result in conflicts and possibly licensing errors.

 

 

Warning

RML can have problems to handle IDs in conditions with many ID candidates, i.e. too many HDDs/SSDs and network adapters including virtual and pseudo ones, even if the ID assignation is correct. In that circumstances, removing some of those HDDs and/or network adapters not in use will avoid the high concurrency and make RLM work properly.
