What is the difference between Stand-alone and Network licenses?

Under a Stand-alone license, the software is constrained to a certain host. A license is needed for each computer the software will be installed on.

In Network license mode, a pool of licenses is available on the server, for use in any computer on the network. You only need to have licenses for the maximum number of simultaneous users expected, not for each computer where the software will be installed.

A great advantage of the Network licenses is that you only need to install and activate licenses on the Server, not on the workstations. This allows you to change or upgrade the computers more easily, without having to worry about reactivating licenses.

What are the requeriments to use Network licenses?

Network licenses require you to install the License Server software in a Windows computer. It may be a workstation (even the same machine used to run Max), or a separate server.

Although the server software does not require a powerful system, it is mandatory that the computer hosting the license server be running and available while there are computers using the licensed software.

Are the Network licenses more expensive than the Stand-alone?

No. For the convenience of our users, we offer both types at the same price. In the ordering process, you must choose the type of license more suited to your needs.

If you want to modify it after purchasing, please contact us by e-mail BEFORE activating the license. If the license was already activated, we charge a 30 Euro handling fee.

Do I need to purchase additional licenses for my render farm?

No. The network rendering nodes doesn't use any type of license. This is required only to edit the scenes in interactive Max sessions.

What is a Subscription plan?

By default, all licenses include a one-year subscription, but you can choose an extended subscription plan at the time of purchase.

How much cost a subscription plan ?

The price is 50 EUR by license and year. We offer discounts choosing three-years subscription when purchasing new licenses, and by renewing group of licenses.

What are the benefits of choosing a three-year subscription?

When you purchase a license of our products, you receive one-year subscription by default. The three-year subscription plan, guarantees a long period of software updates and new features, with a discount.

Why do you offer subscription plans instead of scheduled upgrades?

The subscription plan allows us to include new features more frequently, without waiting for a major upgrade several months or more. It also provides a specific cost to our customers, what is a must for some companies.

Are you planning to apply the subscription system to Forest Pack, or is it exclusive to RailClone?

Yes. We have plans to enable it for Forest Pack Pro as well. The Forest Pro subscription service will be available as soon as we complete the required changes to the license system and website.

How can I verify and renew my subscriptions?

We are working to include the subscription renewal service in the User Panel. From there, you can verify your licenses, the active subscriptions and renew them. This service will be active in the coming months.

I have purchased a multi-license pack. Must I renew the subscription for each license?

Yes. The subscription plan is applied for each license, but we will offer substantial discounts to renew a group of licenses.
