8 MAXON License Server
Name: The serial number name. This name can be changed, which will not affect
the serial number itself.
Package: Serial number and multi-license for CINEMA 4D.
Version: Displays the CINEMA 4D version for which these serial numbers are valid.
Licenses: Displays how many licenses of a Serial Package are still available.
"2/3" means that two of the three available serial numbers are still available for
allocation.
OS: Displays the operating system for which a Serial Package is valid. "All" means
that the Serial Package can be used on all operating systems.
Blocked: This option is made available if you click on a Serial Package (the top-
most entry of the hierarchy shown above). The entire Serial Package can be
blocked to prevent allocation. However, Clients will only then be made aware of
this upon requesting a new license. If, for example, a Client has received an offline
lease period of 12 days it will be made aware of this lock after this 12-day period
has expired.
2. Groups
Environments with numerous computers and users that can request a serial
number from the License Server can be split into user groups to which common
properties can be assigned. Certain serial numbers can be blocked, various leasing
periods can be assigned to specific groups, and groups can be given preference
for the allocation serial number groups.
The "Default" user group is always present. This is the group that will be referenced
automatically by Clients if the "Auto Assign Group" option is not enabled.
The "Default" group can be blocked if you want to prevent Clients being
automatically allocated to a user group (i.e. automatically be allocated a license).
Administrator rights will be required to free a Client, which is done by manually
allocating the Client to a group.
