Hello,
I’m trying to get usage based licensing licensing to work with Redshift standalone.
Here is a quick overview of the scenario:
The repository machine runs windows server 2016,
the render nodes run Ubuntu 18.04.
I want to render the “vulture.rs” file from the Redshift website using the Redshift commandline renderer.
When I do so, the render node renders the image with a watermark meaning that no license is available.
Note: I do get V-Ray usage based licensing to work just fine and I use it regularly.
I did purchase the deadline_redshift_50_hours package, added the correct “limit” to the job.
Even though I think I did everything correctly, the image renders with watermarks.
It also looks like the node is communicating correctly with the license forwarder.
Here is some debugging info:
This is the log file from the render node:

It seems to establish a connection to the license forwarder but does not pull a license.
The only noticeable lines regarding this issue within the log file are:
At the beginning of the log file:
- 2019-01-01 16:07:52: Port Forwarder (redshift:5054): Port forwarder created.
- 2019-01-01 16:07:52: Port Forwarder (redshift:7054): Port forwarder created.
- 2019-01-01 16:07:53: Message From License Forwarder: Success: Machine registered (fvfx-rnlx-001/::ffff:10.142.2.1).
Just before Rendering:
4. 2019-01-01 16:08:04: 0: STDOUT: License error: License subsystem failed to initialize (0)
6. 2019-01-01 16:08:05: 0: STDOUT: Failed to load file /root/redshift/redshift-core2.lic (does not exist). Will have to communicate with server.
At the end of the log file:
- 2019-01-01 16:25:44: Message From License Forwarder: Success: Machine unregistered (fvfx-rnlx-001/::ffff:10.142.2.1).
- 2019-01-01 16:25:44: Port Forwarder (redshift:5054): Port Forwarder shutting down.
- 2019-01-01 16:25:44: Port Forwarder (redshift:7054): Port Forwarder shutting down.
- Success
This is the output of the license forewarder:
This is how the “license limit” looks like, this limit is also assigned to the job:
This is how the Usage based licensing settings look like:
Any hint on what I’m doing wrong would be very nice.
