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.
- Note the IP address of the computer where the RLM is going to be installed.
- The RLM installer comes bundled with RealFlow | Cinema 4D.
- MISSING: It's long ago since I've installed the RLM... Is it an installer or just an EXE file or a shell script?
- MISSING: Where to find the RLM (c4d's plugins > nextlimit directory? )
- MISSING: Making the RLM a startup service (manually or automatically?)
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:5054 (e.g. 192.168.0.1:5054)
- In this case, look for the installation directory of the already installed RLM. Then, the license file and the “nextlimit.set” file must be copied to the RLM's directory. Restart.
- The “nextlimit.set” file comes bundled with the RealFlow | Cinema 4D installer (MISSING: Where to find the RLM (c4d's plugins > nextlimit directory?)
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, for example
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".
