Already Existing RLM Servers

RLM is widely spread and many applications use it for copy-protection – Maxwell Render or products from The Foundry, for example, are two of them. If there is an already running RLM server in your system then it is possible to use it for licensing RealFlow. Another method is to install a new RLM using a different port. The latter method is recommended when the existing RLM is very old or if you want to keep your licenses separated.

Using An Existing RLM

In this case, please 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 can be found in RealFlow's application folder under “rlm”

Binding RealFlow's RLM to Another Port

5053 is the RLM's default port. So, if you are using a RLM-licensed software already then port 5053 is in use. The solution is to edit your license file. There, you will find a line indicating the used port. for example

HOST localhost 0021ffd2d3e 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.
