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

 

Licensing Maxwell Render Learning Edition

After purchasing the Maxwell Render Learning Edition, you received an email from the Next Limit Sales department containing your Learning Edition license, in particular a user name, password and a product key. 

To license Maxwell Render Learning Edition, simply follow this procedure:

  • Open Maxwell.exe (Win) or Maxwell.app (Mac) and go to Help> License Info. A pop-up screen will appear asking you to licence Maxwell Render Learning Edition or Maxwell Render (full production version). Choose Maxwell Render Learning Edition.
  • In the License Activator panel, paste your Email, Password and serial Key you received in your confirmation email. Click Activate. Maxwell will validate and activate your license if all the data are correct. 
  • Your Maxwell Render Learning Edition is now licensed.

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.
