Note

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

 

 

Info

Custom license path

Beyond the regular licensing procedure, some users may be interested in having one single license.txt file stored in one particular location, and several node computers reading 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. 

 

 

Licensing Maxwell Render Learning Edition

...

Once you have licensed the software, a "mxstdlicMAXWELL_LEARNING.dat" file will be saved in your Maxwell user folder, for example in Windows 7 this would be in: C:\Users\<current user>\Documents\Maxwell\mxstdlicMAXWELL_LEARNING.dat

If you are not sure where your license key is stored, open Maxwell.exe (Win) or Maxwell.app (Mac). The console window will display where your license key is located, stating “License found in.....”.

If somehow Maxwell finds a license file from the Full version plus another one from the Learning Edition (in case you had purchased both in different moments), Maxwell gives priority to the Suite license.
