Maxwell 4.0.1.1 Plugin not appearing in Formz 8.5.7

[brion18 9]

Just recently updated to latest FormZ and the latest Maxwell 4 plugin. I have installed everything but now when i go to open formZ the maxwell plugin is not appearing. I can go in and open the maxwell renderer as a standalone and it is licensed.

 

 

[pylon 287]

Navigate to your formZ/Plugins/ folder. Is there a "Maxwell" folder there?

[brion18 9]

Yep copied the folder from the install to the plugins folder

So, you do not see the Maxwell icon in formZ, but if you go to the "Extensions" menu, do you see the Maxwell Render menu item there?

[brion18 9]

Maxwell doesn't show up at all in the extensions menu. It looks like formz is not recognizing the maxwell plugin.

Hmm. We just did a fresh download and re-install of Maxwell 4.0.1.1 on formZ 8.5.7 on macOS, and everything worked fine.

 

Can you confirm:

1. That you downloaded Maxwell for formZ 4.0.1.1 from the Next Limit public releases area (e.g., not a beta)

2. The build number of formZ you are running (in About formZ...)

3. Your version of macOS

[brion18 9]

1. Yes straight from Nextlimit. 4.01.1

2. FormZ build 9929

3. OS 10.9.5

Hi brion18,

Maxwell 4 requires MacOS 10.11 or greater.

Thanks !

Basic error on my part. I have now updated my OS. I know can see maxwell in formz.

 

Unfortunately I am now having trouble licensing.

I have a floating license and tried to license via the license activator.

 

I am getting

 

Error getting license, returned code : Communications error with license server

 

I have turned off the firewalls

Did you install RLM on one, and only one, of the computers on your local network?
