On Windows at least, Maxwell V3 and V4 don't like to co-exist in terms of licensing and I was forced to put the V4 licenses in a "v4" subfolder to the usual license folder in
C:\ProgramData\Next Limit\Maxwell\licenses\
I put my SU license inside the maxwell_license.lic file, so this file contains both my V4 node license, and the V4 SU plugin license.
I created an environment variable called MAXWELLV4_LICENSE_PATH with the new path in it, and both MaxwellV4 and StudioV4 pick this up. But in SU, I get the following license error:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Something related to V3/V4 licensing, maybe you can pass this on: I can't leave this "V4" maxwell_license.lic file in the main licenses folder, because then Maxwell V3 says it's not licensed
(even though I DO have the "maxwell_suite_floating.lic" license in the same folder, which has valid V3 licenses.
Studio V3 is still licensed fine, but Maxwell V3 gets confused by this "V4" maxwell_license.lic, and stops reading any other lic files in the folder apparently. As soon as I remove the V4 one so I only have the "maxwell_suite_floating" left, then V3 Maxwell gets licensed correctly again....
It was fun finding all this out....the licensing combinations and what worked when.![Neutral :|](./images/smilies/icon_neutral.gif)

Code: Select all
If I simply copy this maxwell_license.lic to the main licenses folder, restart SU, the plugin is now licensed. So as long as it's only in the environment path folder, the plugin won't accept it.Path [environment]: C:\ProgramData\Next Limit\Maxwell\licenses\v4\maxwell_license.lic [requestLicense (1) failed]
