RLM is widely spread and many applications use it for licensing.
Installing a New RLM
- It is only necessary to install one instance of RLM on your entire network and not on each of the computers that will run RealFlow | Cinema 4D.
- Write down the IP address of the computer where the RLM is going to be installed.
The RLM server comes bundled with RealFlow | Cinema 4D and will be installed under:
- OS X:
/Applications/MAXON/CINEMA 4D RXX/plugins/nextlimit/RealFlow/rlm - Windows:
C:\Program Files\Next Limit\RealFlow Cinema4D 1\rlm
For a complete installation and configuration guide please go to:
Using An Existing RLM
To check if there is a RLM server running on your machine, open a browser and enter the following address: ip_of_the_computer_with_rlm:5054For example 192.168.2.2:5054 (example - use the actual IP of your computer!)
- In this case, look for the installation directory of the already installed RLM.
- The
nextlimit.setfile comes bundled with the RealFlow | Cinema 4D installer and has to be copied to
OS X:/Applications/MAXON/CINEMA 4D RXX/plugins/nextlimit/RealFlow/rlm
Windows:C:\Program Files\Next Limit\RealFlow Cinema4D 1\rlm - Restart the RLM service.
Binding RealFlow's RLM to Another Port
5053 is the RLM's default port. If you are using a RLM-licensed software already then port 5053 is in use. The solution is to edit your license file, where you will find a line indicating the used port, something like
HOST localhost xxxxxxxxxxx 5053
Change “5053” to something like 5052, or 5060, but do not use 5054, because this port is occupied by the RLM's web interface. Open the web interface and click on "Reread/Restart Servers".
