Floating : Windows

Floating licenses have to be installed manually and require a license manager ("RLM"):

• Check if there is a RLM server running on your machine. Open a browser and enter the IP of the computer where the RLM will be installed, followed by ":5054", for example 192.168.2.2:5054
• If not, install the → RLM before you start with the licensing process.
• If there is a RLM running read the → "Floating : RLM" chapter for more information.

The installation of floating licenses requires two steps: 

Installing the License

• Copy the license file to the "rlm" directory of the computer where the RLM is running: C:\Program Files\Next Limit\RealFlow Cinema4D 1\rlm
• If you do not know where to find/how to get your floating license read → "Download Your License".
• Copy the nextlimit.set file to the same directory, shown above. This file is part of the RealFlow | Cinema 4D installation and can be found under Cinema 4D RXX > plugins > nextlimit > ???

Creating the Host Files

Let's assume the computer with RLM has the following IP address: 192.168.2.2 (example only - use actual IP from your own computer!):

• Create a plain text file and type HOST 192.168.2.2 5053
• Save the file as host.lic
• Copy host.lic to C:\Documents\realflow_cinema4d\license of all computers you want to use - including the machine with the RLM.

Open the RLM web interface with 192.168.2.2:5053 and

• click on "Reread/Restart Servers"
• click on "Status" and look for "nextlimit" in the "ISV Servers" table
• you will find all relevant license information under Server Status > nextlimit.
