Andre Conlledo Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 This update requires an activation which I haven't been able to do since my license is already being used (same computer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hi Andre, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by your description. If you replace the copy of Maxwell on your computer with 3.2.1.5, it should run as before. However, if you used the uninstaller and chose the 'remove license files' option, you might need to do the licensing procedure again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dworks Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 i am having licensing issues with my 3.2.1.6 plugin. maxwell app latest 3.2.x release runs perfectly, but the plugin continues to ask for a licence activation. i have a floating suite license and an rlm server on a networked mac set up and running. not sure what the issue could be? EDIT: i tested now with version 3.2.0.8 (the latest one i saved before the total NL server blackout) and it works fine. so i guess the problem is with latest version... cheers markus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Hi Marcus, Hmm. I have a floating license served from a Mac and have not had any issues with 3.2.1.6. I suspect that RLM thinks more licenses are checked out than you have available through your floating license. I would suggest restarting all the machines that use Maxwell/formZ, and then stopping and restarting the RLM server. Does the problem persist after that?

Des Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I'm having a bit of a panic here Pylon. I installed the latest builds of Maxwell and the plugin this morning. Now the plugin won't work, it says it's not licensed. I re-installed everything, still the same problem. Can you help? (sorry it's Sunday morning, It's just that I'm under pressure as usual) Latest version of FormZ Latest version of Maxwell 3 and Plugin for Z. Floating license. Mac OS 10.12 Sierra. Thanks, Des Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Des Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 When I launch the license activator and insert my info, I'm asked to add to or overwrite the existing license, which ever I choose is accepted, but when I return to the plugin in FormZ I get the same "Maxwell is not licensed" message. Is there a manual way of placing the license file? Des Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Ok, panic over.... I re-installed absolutely everything, turn off firewall and it worked.... Phew... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 If I turn on the firewall it doesn't work.... so my system (small as it is) has to be vulnerable to use maxwell? Needs to be sorted I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 Hi Des, I'm not a license specialist, but I would recommend enabling your firewall, but making sure that formZ is allowed to accept incoming connections in the Security & Privacy > Firewall pane. (RLM needs to communicate with formZ.) Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Thanks for getting back Pylon. I've enabled RLM, Maxwell & FormZ to accept incoming connections, but still no joy when firewall is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hi Des, Again, I suspect a Sierra issue here. I am running formZ on 10.12 (Sierra), with my license served from a machine running 10.11... all okay. Is your license server (RLM) running on 10.12 by chance? (If so, you might try running RLM off a 10.11 machine instead...in this case power down the current RLM machine so there's only one on your network for testing.) I suggest you open a help ticket with Next Limit- they are the RLM experts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmick9 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I have been having serious issues with Maxwell after updating to Sierra and in this thread I'm seeing reference to 3.2.1.6... but on my Nextlimit download area the most current version for V3 is 3.2.1.5... is there another location to get an updated maxwell installer?

pylon Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Hi cmick9, If you follow the link in the first post above, it will provide information on how to download the 3.2.1.6 early build. (This is a stable release, and will be added the the Maxwell 3 public downloads area within a few days.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imagix Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I see others are having the same issue as me. I just installed Maxwell and activated it. Z keeps telling me it isn't registered though. I tried connecting to the internet in various ways. I have no firewall. The RLM server is running on and old second Mac mini, same as before I changed my work laptop. Any suggestions?

pylon Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hi,There was a licensing problem with the last Maxwell 3 for formZ plugin that has since been corrected.Please log into the Maxwell Render customer portal, and download the latest Maxwell 3 for formZ, version 3.2.1.7. This should fix the issue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
