- Floating licenses are used in Maxwell Render Suite Floating and Maxwell Render Faculty.
- Floating licenses are not attached to any particular computer, so your licenses can be shared across a network (via the RLM License Server application) among different computers. They can be requested by any computer in the network (where Maxwell Render is installed) and also used for cooperative/network rendering jobs.
- Each Maxwell Render Suite Floating license comes with 10 extra rendernodes included. So in addition to the render process on the computer where you are working, you also have 10 rendernodes which can be used on other machines in your network.
- Floating license keys can be activated 3 times (this allows you to activate your license on a laptop or home computer outside of the network). If you exceed the number of permitted activations, you will receive a pop-up notification and your license will become blacklisted on our server. If you need to re-install after exceeding the limit, you must contact us.
- Each floating license seat contains a "seat" and a "node" element as shown in the diagram above. The seat element allows you to use any of the plugins and/or Maxwell Studio (for set-up and editing), and the node element allows you to render (with the main Maxwell Render engine), save output, and use the network manager tools. You can open as many instances as you wish in a single computer (of the plugins, Studio or Maxwell Render.exe) without "using" more than one license.
- You will need one full floating license for each user (who will need setup/editing functionality).
- Floating licenses work per concurrent user: One single license can be installed on as many machines as you like, but it can only be used by one person at any one time. Maxwell Render licenses do not have CPU/core limitations. For example: in a company with 3 employees looking to use Maxwell Render at the same time (plus a few machines to use just for rendering), 3 floating (seat) licenses should be purchased.
