Keyshot 3 .lic File: A Guide to Network Rendering with License File or Floating License



4. If you have a license key, click Register Key and fill out the form. Your network license should activate automatically. Otherwise, click Save license request, save the text file and email it to [email protected] for manual activation.




Keyshot 3 .lic File



6. Your license file installed. The license text shows you how many cores the workers (combined) can use for Network Rendering and when the license will expire. Note that 1 GPU will count as 16 cores.


In some cases you may need to move your license to another computer. in such cases you can click Deactivate license, move the .lic file to the other computer and follow the steps above to set up the license on the new manager.


If you have received a new license file from us, you may easily replace the old license and update your Manager service. Just follow the steps above. Notice that if a user has KeyShot Network Monitor is open, while replacing the license file, it will briefly lose connection to the manager (the manager needs to re-start). When prompted, check your Monitor connection settings and click Apply. The client-manager connection will come back up.


Pixologic has discontinued its use of the license file activation system for single-user and volume licenses. If you have a .zlic file you have an older version of the software and should upgrade to the most current version for which you are eligible.


1. Make sure that the C:\Program Files (x86)\Luxion License Server folder contains all the required files: LUXION.exe, and lmgrd.exe. You can always re-install these files using the provided server software.


4. Open the LUXION.log file inside your C:\ProgramData\Luxion\License folder. The debug log will reference your license file and tell you that the server started on your computer system.


To get started, visit buy.keyshot.com. Next, add a KeyShot Pro Subscription to your cart. Available subscription add-on modules include KeyShotWeb (to create and share interactive 3D content), KeyShot Network Rendering (to utilize the power of your own computer network), and NX for KeyShot (that provides direct integration and LiveLinking with Siemens NX).


Download KeyShot Pro via the link in the email or by visiting keyshot.com/download/. Install KeyShot Pro, stepping through the installation prompts and entering the subscription activation code from the email.


Hello guys i have finally recieved the link for the keyshot bridge and the code for keyshot for mac. but there is no link to download the keyshot for Zbrush so i went on the keyshot websiteand i have downloaded the keyshot for mac.After once it was downloaded, I tried to open the installer but I received each time I tried an error message that tells me the installer is damaged (see screenshot below)


I ran into the same thing installing on windows. I had to right click the install file and run as administrator. I think mac has an equivalent. Also after much frustration. I read the Keyshot manual and found out in order to run on two machines you have to deactivate the license on the active machine then activate it on the other one using the serial.


Yes thanks SwampGhost and Fishjelly i have find that too on an other post and the .zlic works well on mac too.There just one thing, why when i downloaded the licence there is no .lic or .Zlic after the name that is really weird.otherwise that work well no so i just need to find a good tuto for understand how works keyshot and discover all the possibilities of this incredible bridge and soft>MANY THANKS GUYS !!bestJB


And as expected, like our keypair, our license keys are also much larger. But they'resecure. And remember, most users copy-and-paste, so length doesn't really matter.(You could even wrap license keys in a license.dat file, which makes distributiona breeze. But that's just an implementation detail.)


While Luxion lists the FBX and Alembic efficiencies as an enhancement, I want to point out that this is the first time KeyShot users have been able to import deformable mesh animations as an FBX file. Users of CLO, VStitcher and Maya will benefit from this.


Additionally, rigged character animations often use FBX files. As a result, of the new importers, FBX will now import correctly into KeyShot 11. Check out the impressive chart below of greatly-reduced file size, import time and memory usage associated with these improvements.


The licence has an encrypted hostname in it and if this is occurring on all workstations the error can be because the hostname in the licence does not match the hostname of the machine where the licence files reside. This most commonly occurs after a server migration where you copied the license file from one server to another.


To resolve this, you need to rename the existing licence file, install a new licence file and then re-register the new licence. If you are using PLS CloudAUTH lodgement you will also need to on board again as your SoftwareID will have changed.


Discussion: This error indicates that the FLEXlm routines in the application are unable to make a TCP connection to the server and port specified in the license file. Possible causes/solutions for this behavior are listed below 1.) PROBLEM: The wrong license file is being referenced by IDL. SOLUTION: Verify that the application is using the proper license file. Check the paths and spelling of the licenses listed in the "license path" indicated in the error message. 2.) PROBLEM: The server machine specified in the license file is down; SOLUTION: Verify that specified server machine is up and reachable by executing another command that uses TCP, such as ping, from the client to the server. For example, if the IP address of the license server machine "myserver" is 123.456.789.0, open a DOS command prompt on the IDL client machine and issue the command: ping 123.456.789.0 or ping myserver TCP must be available on both the client and the server machines in order to use a floating license. If network problems are suspected, contact your system administrator for assistance. 3.) PROBLEM: The license manager service is running but the IDL vendor daemon specified in the DAEMON line of the license file (IDL_LMGRD.exe) is not running; SOLUTION: Check the license manager debug log file and run the lmstat command to try to determine if the vendor daemon is down and to get clues about how to resolve the problem=: a.) Verify that the vendor daemon is running. Check the license manager debug log file that was specified when configuring the license manager. b.) Examine the license manager debug log file to see if any problems are reported, particularly messages indicating that the vendor daemon has quit. c.) Run lmstat -a from the server machine to verify that the vendor daemon is alive. For example, if your IDL 6.4 installation is located at C:\Program Files\ITT\ IDL64 and license manager was started using a license file with the following SERVER line:


Where 1700 is the number at the end of the SERVER line of the license file and "myserver" is the name of the license server machine as it appears in the license file. 4.) PROBLEM: The host name in the license file is not recognized by the system; SOLUTION: If the license manager or the vendor daemon (idl_lmgrd) is down, make the necessary corrections to the license manager setup on the license server machine and then start or restart the FLEXlm license manager service on that server machine. (Note that the FLEXlm license manager service for an ITT license should only be started (only one instance), on the designated license server machine that is listed in the SERVER line of the license file.) Information about configuring, starting and stopping the FLEXlm license manager on Windows 2000 or XP can be found in the "License Management Guide" (license.pdf) in the IDL Online Manuals of your installation or on your product CD. 5.) PROBLEM: The network between the client machine and the server machine is down. SOLUTION: Run lmstat -a (see item (3c) above) from the client machine to verify the connection from client to vendor daemon across the network. Also run lmdiag to get additional clues about a network related problems and how to resolve them in the context of this problem. For example:


6.) PROBLEM: TCP is not running on your machine. SOLUTION: From the client machine, try using telnet host port where host and port are the same as on the SERVER line in your license file. Using the example license and installation example above, open a DOS command prompt issue the following command:


If a connection is established, the DOS prompt will not be returned since a TCP connection has been established with the license manager service. However, if a connection is not established this may indicate that the license manager is not running properly or that there is a network communication problem between the client and the server machine. (Close the DOS window to end a telnet connection to the license manager.) SOLUTION: If there is no firewall up open the 'license.dat' file, in a plain text editor, and change the hostname to the IP address of the computer. For example, if the SERVER line in the license data file reads:


On macOS, double-click the downloaded DMG file to mount it. This will usually open a window that shows the installer application. If no window opens automatically, locate the ZBrush installer in the Devices section of your Finder window. Open that to locate the installer application. Double-click the installer application to launch it. From this point it may take a minute or two for the installer to unpack itself to memory and continue to the next screen. You will also be asked for your macOS login user name and password. 2ff7e9595c
