Note

You have to follow the same licensing procedure on all the computers you intend to render on.

Note

Propagating your license file to other computers. The fastest way.

If you own license for more than one computer, you have to use the same license.txt file (containing the information of all your licenses) in all the computers of your farm (no matter which will run as Manager and Monitor, and which will be Rendernodes). 

Once you get Maxwell licensed in one of your computer, the easiest way to apply that same license.txt file on the rest is this:

Find the license.txt file in your licensed computer (an automatic search with the term license.txt will easily find it). Copy your license file to a pendrive.
Go to one of your other computers, open the Maxwell application folder (where the Maxwell and Studio applications are stored) and paste the license.txt file there.
Then launch Maxwell from that same folder (the black Maxwell icon). This way you force Maxwell to recognize that license file and get licensed.

Once it gets properly licensed, it will automatically move your license file to another location where it will easily found each time you run Maxwell (usually it is moved to the Users>Documents>Maxwell subfolder). Don't worry about it, this is an automatic process.

Now Maxwell will be properly licensed on that computer. Repeat these simple steps on all your computers. 

 

 

Info

Custom license path

Beyond the regular licensing procedure described above, some users may be interested in having one single license.txt file stored in certain particular location, and all the node computers may read the license file from this unique location. 

To do this, you can use the MAXWELL2_LICENSE_PATH environment variable, that allows to define the folder where the license.txt file is located. Just create a new environment variable in your operating system settings panel named MAXWELL2_LICENSE_PATH pointing to the folder where the license.txt file is stored. Maxwell will then read the license from this custom location.
