Otherwise Cinema 4D will not know which license type it should use. If several different types of licenses have been purchased, you may have to activate a given license. Otherwise you can click on the shopping cart icon at the top right to open the Maxon Web Shop and purchase a license.Īs soon as a valid license has been recognized (you may have to click on the Update button at the top left next to the arrow buttons), Cinema 4D will start automatically or you can click on the OK button to start Cinema 4D. You can click on the Activate button to activate a one-time 14-day Demo license. The first time the application is started, you will probably see the prompt No free licenses found. This is how the Maxon user account start page can look in Cinema 4D. You can also login using your Facebook or Google account (also referred to as user account in the following). The first time you start Cinema 4D, a dialog window will open in which you can set up your user account or login using your username and password, if you already have an account. Normally, you will obtain your license via your Maxon user account. However, this does not apply to the License Server (it has its own rules). You can work offline for a maximum of 14 days. This will require the computer on which Cinema 4D and the licenses are installed be connected with the user account at least every 14 days, which in turn requires an internet connection. Purchased licenses are then linked to this user account. Demo versions can be switched to full versions without having to download or install any additional files.Plug-ins can also be linked to a Maxon user account (which can make new serial numbers unnecessary when switching, see also Export Licensing Overview.).A Maxon user account can contain any number of licenses.Licenses can be purchased and used right away.This license system bears the following advantage, among others: This can be done manually or after the expiration of a certain amount of time - if not extended.
Subordinated instances can return their license to a higher-level instance (this is shown in the image with double arrows). The license will be "checked out" for that user account, i.e., as long as the license lies at a subordinated instance (Client, License Server), it cannot be re-assigned to or borrowed from the user account. The Maxon user account can assign licenses to the License Server (which in turn passes them on to the Clients) or to the Clients directly upon request. The RLM plays a special role: its licenses are not obtained via the Maxon user account but directly from Maxon.
