MAXON License Server
A user group can be created by clicking on the "Add Group" button. Each Client
will automatically be allocated to the "Default" group. Several user groups can
be created („Add Group" button) to which Clients can subsequently be allocated.
Clients can be allocated to user groups in two ways:
1. Drag & drop the Client onto a user group
2. New Clients can be allocated automatically (see below)
If a user group is enclosed by two number signs (#) it is blocked, meaning it cannot
allocate serial numbers.
Right-clicking on a user group will make the "Delete Group" command available. If
a group is deleted to which Clients were allocated, these Clients will automatically
be re-allocated to the "Default" group.
3. User Group Settings
Groups can be assigned the following properties:
Name: Assign a name to the user group
Blocked: Using this option, user groups can be excluded from the allocation of
serial numbers. A description of what happens when the Clients allocated to a
blocked group request a serial number after their lease period has expired can be
found in the following parameter description.
Default Lease Time (Days): Defines the maximum period for which a Client can
be disconnected from the License Server (exception: A Client has requested
offline lease time - see next parameter). Normally, the License Server and Client(s)
communicate with each other once per minute to make sure each is still connected.
As soon as this communication takes place the lease time will be applied. If the
connection between License Server and Client is interrupted the Client will display
a warning message every minute. The scene can be saved. After CINEMA 4D quit
it cannot be re-launched on this Client. Avoid setting very short Lease Times - this
will put an unnecessary burdon on the network. Furthermore, brief interruptions
to the network connection will result in Client licenses being withdrawn.
