I'm on the road with my laptop, setting up renders in Studio. I use Team Viewer when away from the office. Because my laptop runs the licensing server - how can the renderfarm PCs back at the office receive the licensing connection, so they can render what I set up from afar?

Thanks!

They won't be able to see it on your laptop, you need to install RLM and do the licensing on one of your other computers on your local network. The licensing allows for this.

Oh dear. I'm on the road, out of the office. What a bummer!

Thanks anyway…

ps: Maxwell Render is actually still rendering on some nodes, although the laptop with RLM has been removed from the network, so that still works. If I don't close the software (and the PCs don't crash), I could load new MSXs into MR and render, couldn't I?

Perhaps, I'm not sure if it does any periodic checking. But why can't you use Team Viewer to install RLM on one of your nodes?

Thanks, maybe it does not check periodically ; )

But, you're right, I could install RLM on one node, so the office network can license itself from that one. Didn't think of that.

Not having exited MR on the remote nodes, I could resume other renderings. So far, it looks like once the license has been okayed, the licensing computer can be removed from the network. Nice!
