You need a license server with a valid license file running in order to start the application.
To receive your license file, please send the order ID as well as the host name and host ID of your license server to support@das-element.com

License Server

The license server required is RLM (Reprise License Manager) by Reprise Software.
https://reprisesoftware.com/

  • download the RLM license server here http://das-element.com/download/

  • contact support to get your license file

  • unpack the .zip file anywhere on your license server

    • Linux: suggested location /opt/rlm

    • Windows: anywhere

  • on your client set the environment variable DASELEMENT_LICENSE

What is the host name?

The host name is what your computer name is called on a network.
Your license server host name will be something similar to: vfx-license

Linux/Windows

Open a command prompt/terminal
Type: “hostname“
This should give you the host name

Windows

  • unzip to any location on your license server

  • run get_host_info.bat to get the host ID and host name

What is the host ID?

The Host ID is your Ethernet ID/MAC address. It will look similar to this:
0284b864d514 or 02:84:b8:64:d5:14

Open a terminal/shell
Type "ifconfig"
The host id is the number after "ether"
Look for you network device and “Hwaddr”

Windows

  • unzip to any location on your license server

  • run get_host_info.bat to get the host ID and host name

  • OR

Connect to the license server

To connect to your license server you have to set an environment variable to point to your license server when running the application.

Set environment variable DASELEMENT_LICENSE As a fallback the variable RLM_LICENSE will be used.
Should look something like this: {port}@{hostname}. The default port is 5053

Example

export DASELEMENT_LICENSE=5053@vfx-license

Windows

setx DASELEMENT_LICENSE "5053@vfx-license”
