License types new

Node-locked licenses are used in Maxwell Render Suite Node-locked, Maxwell Render Learning Edition and/or Maxwell for SketchUp.
Node-locked licenses work exclusively on the computer where they are installed so they cannot be shared in a network and the network manager tools cannot be used.
The RLM License Server application is not required and does not need to be installed
Licenses can be activated on both your workstation and your laptop. 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 node-locked license contains a "seat" and a "node" element. The seat element allows you to use any of the plugins and/or Maxwell Studio (for setup and editing), and the node element allows you to render (with the main Maxwell Render engine) and save output. All processes are limited to one computer only, although you can open as many instances as you wish in the same computer (of the plugins, Studio or Maxwell Render.exe)

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.
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.
In addition to the render process on the computer where you are working, you also have a further 10 rendernodes which can be used on other machines in your network.
You will need one full floating license for each user (who will need setup/editing).

Maxwell Rendernodes are floating licenses which allow you to distribute a render job over a number of machines in a network or farm to quickly obtain all the frames needed for a sequence or to calculate a very large image
Rendernodes can be shared across a network (via the RLM License Server application). They can be requested by any computer in the network (where Maxwell Render is installed).
Rendernodes must be used in conjunction with at least one floating seat license in the network
Rendernode licenses will allow you to use the Maxwell Render engine and the network manager tools as shown in the diagram above, but cannot be used for editing scenes
