  • Not able to borrow license for second machine and render nodes

    We have two licenses for interface and 31 licenses for render. We use two Macs as Cinema4D workstations and 6 Macs as Render Nodes. Unfortunately, there was a breakdown of the online license server last night. That's why I wanted to set up the Offline Licenses today. Unfortunately, this only works on one computer. The other one does not want to borrow the second license. In addition, it is not possible to activate a render license as offline license on a render node. It is only possible to switch the render license offline in combination with an interface license.

    Hi Oliver, these licenses (the migrated ones) are a bit different than the usual ones, meaning that all components (interface and render) are part of the same license instance. It'll be best if you set up a central license server instance in the office and borrow all licenses there.
    After that you can point all computers to obtain licenses from it https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...cense+Settings

    I've written a small script to assist when changing the license settings on MAC - https://ftp.chaosgroup.com/support/SetLicenseIP.scpt

      It's really annoying!!! At this moment the borrowed license is not working anymore. The license Server is down and we are not able to work with our software. We need a fast solution for these problems. We earn our money with this software!
