We are looking for a new feature with C4D. Since C4D went to the online subscription. I have to drop credentials file into all Workstation at night to allow them to render on Deadline. This is why we are looking for this feature. In AE, you drop in a Render only file which tells AE to render only without entering credentials. Can this feature be modified and used with C4D?
Many thanks for considering my request.
Hi Robert
I’m assuming you’re talking about your licenses for C4D?
If you run your c4d commandline on the workstation, you can choose to assign it with your my.Maxon account information. The CLR will remember the information, but sometimes it can happen to drop it.
To work around that, I would advise you to look into Maxon License server.
Hope this is helpfull.
Thank you for the suggestion. Yeah, I am walking into this. I believe once you go subscription, you can’t go back. Yeah, I have used the CLI login. You are right it holds it, but not when I need it to. I guess I will have to Hardcode the credentials into C4D and hide it somewhere in the file system and remap my paths in Deadline.
Hi Robert
As I mentioned, have a look at the Maxon License Server.
You can bind your CLR license to that, so that it stays connected.
Thank you for that. Will look into reverting our License to run the License server local.
