The License Manager

许可证管理器

General

常规

When this command is called up, the License Manager will open. Here you can manage your Cinema 4D licenses. Licenses can be purchased and used right away.

当调用此命令时，许可证管理器将打开。在这里您可以管理您的C4D 许可证。许可证可以立即购买和使用。

• From your Maxon user account (which is the most common method) 从您的 Maxon 用户帐户(这是最常见的方法)
• From the 来自Maxon License Server Maxon 许可证服务器
• From the 来自RLM-Server 伺服器

The "communication" between the Maxon user account (the program will be referred to as the Client, which requires a license to start, i.e., a Cinema 4D or Team Render Server license, for example) looks like this:

Maxon 用户帐户之间的“通信”(该程序将被称为客户端，需要许可证才能启动，例如，一个 Cinema 4D 或 Team Render Server 许可证，例如)看起来像这样:

The Maxon user account can assign licenses to the License Server (which in turn passes them on to the Clients) or to the Clients directly upon request.

Maxon 用户帐户可以将许可证分配给许可证服务器(许可证服务器会将许可证传递给客户端) ，或者根据请求直接将许可证分配给客户端。

The license will be "checked out" for that user account, i.e., as long as the license lies at a subordinated instance (Client, License Server), it cannot be re-assigned to or borrowed from the user account.

许可证将被该用户帐户“签出” ，也就是说，只要许可证位于一个从属实例(客户端，许可证服务器)上，它就不能被重新分配到该用户帐户或从该用户帐户中借用。

Subordinated instances can return their license to a higher-level instance (this is shown in the image with double arrows). This can be done manually or after the expiration of a certain amount of time - if not extended.

从属实例可以将它们的许可证返回到更高级别的实例(这在图中用双箭头显示)。这可以手动完成，或者在一定时间后完成——如果没有延长的话。

This license system bears the following advantage, among others:

这一许可证制度除其他外具有以下优点:

• Licenses can be purchased and used right away 许可证可以立即购买和使用
• A Maxon user account can contain any number of licenses 一个 Maxon 用户帐户可以包含任意数量的许可证
• Plug-ins can also be linked to a Maxon user account (which can make new serial numbers unnecessary when switching, see also 插件也可以连接到一个 Maxon 用户帐户(这可以使新的序列号切换时不必要，也见Export Licensing Overview... 出口许可证概述..).
• Demo versions can be switched to full versions without having to download or install any additional files. 演示版本可以切换到完整版本，无需下载或安装任何额外的文件

Purchased licenses are then linked to this user account. This will require the computer on which Cinema 4D and the licenses are installed be connected with the user account at least every 14Days, which in turn requires an internet connection. You can work offline for a maximum of 14Days. However, this does not apply to the License Server (it has its own rules).

购买的许可证然后链接到这个用户帐户。这将要求安装 Cinema 4D 和许可证的计算机至少每14天与用户帐户连接一次，这反过来又需要一个互联网连接。你最多可以离线工作14天。但是，这不适用于许可证服务器(它有自己的规则)。

Normally, you will obtain your license via your Maxon user account. The first time you start Cinema 4D, a dialog window will open in which you can set up your user account or login using your username and password, if you already have an account. You can also login using your Facebook or Google account (also referred to as user account in the following).

通常情况下，您将通过您的 Maxon 用户帐户获得您的执照。第一次启动 Cinema 4D 时，会打开一个对话窗口，在这个窗口中，如果你已经有一个账户，你可以设置你的用户帐户或者使用你的用户名和密码登录。您也可以使用您的 Facebook 或谷歌帐户登录(在下面也称为用户帐户)。

The registration process is not described here in detail. It is very similar to the process for other accounts online and will prompt you through the process accordingly.

这里没有详细描述注册过程。它非常类似于其他在线帐户的过程，并将提示您通过相应的过程。

There you will find almost the same information/ settings/ possibilities as you will here in the Licenses menu.

在那里你会发现几乎相同的信息/设置/可能性，你会在这里的许可证菜单。

After you register your Maxon user account: Status page

在您注册您的 Maxon 用户帐户: 状态页面

Assuming you have created your user account and logged in: You will then see the page shown on the left (on the right is how the page looks for licenses already being used):

假设您已经创建了您的用户帐户并登录: 然后您将看到左侧显示的页面(右侧是该页面查找已经使用的许可证的方式) :

The first time the application is started, you will probably see the prompt No free licenses found. You can click on the Activate button to activate a one-time 14-day Demo license. Otherwise you can click on the shopping cart icon at the top right to open the Maxon Web Shop and purchase a license.

第一次启动应用程序时，您可能会看到提示 No free license found。你可以点击激活按钮来激活一次性的14天演示许可证。否则你可以点击右上角的购物车图标打开 Maxon 网上商店并购买许可证。

As soon as a valid license has been recognized (you may have to click on the Update button at the top left next to the arrow buttons), Cinema 4D will start automatically or you can click on the OK button to start Cinema 4D. If several different types of licenses have been purchased, you may have to activate a given license. Otherwise Cinema 4D will not know which license type it should use. It can also happen that existing licenses were assigned to other computers, in which case you can remove these and click on Free License & Assign (or the small x) to assign them to a new computer.

一旦有效的许可证被认可(你可能必须点击左上角箭头按钮旁边的更新按钮) ，Cinema 4D 将自动启动，或者你可以点击 OK 按钮启动 Cinema 4D。如果已经购买了几种不同类型的许可证，您可能必须激活给定的许可证。否则 Cinema 4D 将不知道应该使用哪种许可类型。也可能发生现有的许可证被分配给其他计算机，在这种情况下，您可以删除这些和点击免费许可证和分配(或小 x) ，以分配他们到一个新的计算机。

As soon as you’ve completed the account registration, license purchase and assignment processes, you will no longer need the License Manager very much. For example, the License Manager will inform you if a Demo or demo version has expired. Licenses with which you work (e.g., Cinema 4D commercial) will only prompt you if you’ve worked offline for too long and request that you login to your Maxon user account.

一旦您完成了帐户注册，许可证购买和转让过程，您将不再非常需要许可证管理器。例如，许可证管理器将通知您演示或演示版本是否已过期。你使用的许可证(例如 Cinema 4D 广告)只会在你离线工作太久并要求你登录 Maxon 用户帐户时提示你。

Exception: If you use Cinema 4D on more computers than you have licenses, the License Manager will contact you so you can activate or remove licenses in order to be able to work on the current computer (this can also be done in your Maxon user account).

例外: 如果你在比你有许可证更多的计算机上使用 Cinema 4D，许可证管理器会联系你，这样你就可以激活或删除许可证，以便能够在当前的计算机上工作(这也可以在你的 Maxon 用户帐户中完成)。

Top command elements

顶级命令元素

The arrow buttons at the top left of the window can be used to navigate back-and-forth when registering via google or Facebook. The Update button on the right can be used to reload the page or to display any newly purchased licenses.

窗口左上角的箭头按钮可以用来在谷歌或脸书上注册时来回导航。右侧的 Update 按钮可用于重新加载页面或显示任何新购买的许可证。

On the right you will find a selection menu. Here you can define from where you want to draw your licenses (see also above).

在右边你会发现一个选择菜单。在这里，您可以定义从哪里绘制您的许可证(也参见上面)。

Help

救命

Clicking on this icon will open this License Manager help page.

单击此图标将打开此许可证管理器帮助页面。

Status

现况

In the status bar (as with the other sections, this can also be opened and closed by clicking on it) you will see a red or green dot. A green dot means that everything is OK, a license (that is also highlighted in green below) was found and assigned to the Cinema 4D version currently running. A red dot signals a problem and a license cannot be assigned. You must either purchase a license or free up a license currently in use (e.g., if all existing licenses are already assigned to other computers).

在状态栏中(和其他部分一样，也可以通过点击它来打开和关闭) ，你会看到一个红点或绿点。一个绿点表示一切正常，一个许可证(下面也用绿色突出显示)被发现并分配给正在运行的 Cinema 4D 版本。红点表示有问题，无法分配许可证。您必须购买许可证或者释放当前正在使用的许可证(例如，如果所有现有的许可证已经分配给其他计算机)。

At the right you will find an icon for the currently used operating system and next to that your computer’s name.

在右边你会发现一个图标，当前使用的操作系统和旁边的计算机的名称。

License

许可证

Here the currently used license will be displayed - or a corresponding error message.

这里将显示当前使用的许可证-或相应的错误消息。

• Normal licenses that always have access to the newest version. These can be used on 2 different computers but not simultaneously. These are 常规许可证，总是可以访问最新版本。它们可以在两台不同的计算机上使用，但不能同时使用。这些是Subscription 订阅 licenses. These licenses can also be used in the future to run older versions - also non-simultaneously - from the past 3 years (however, R21 is the ,oldest’ version that currently comes into question). As long as the subscription runs, the newest Cinema 4D version can be used. Here, the Client must connect to the internet at least every 14Days. 许可证。这些许可证将来也可以用于运行过去3年的旧版本(也是非同时运行的)(然而，R21是目前受到质疑的最老的版本)。只要订阅运行，最新的Cinema 4D 版本可以使用。在这里，客户必须连接到互联网，至少每14天
• Perpetual licenses, that are temporally unlimited only for a specific Cinema 4D version (e.g., R21). These can also be used on 2 computers but not simultaneously. Here, the Client must connect to the internet at least every 14 days. 永久许可证，只对特定的 Cinema 4D 版本(例如 R21)有临时的无限制。它们也可以在两台计算机上使用，但不能同时使用。在这里，客户必须连接到互联网，至少每14天
• Maxon License Server licenses that are installed on a Maxon License Server on a company network, which assign the licenses to individual Clients. The License Server must connect to the internet from time to time. Maxon 许可证服务器许可证安装在公司网络上的 Maxon 许可证服务器上，该服务器将许可证分配给个人客户。许可证服务器必须不时连接到互联网
• RLM licenses that are installed on an RLM server on the company’s network, which assign the licenses to individual Clients. No internet connection is required. RLM 许可证安装在公司网络上的 RLM 服务器上，用于将许可证分配给单个客户机。不需要互联网连接
• Other licenses include the x/Demo, NFR, Educational, Lite and Commercial licenses, which ensures that just about any license need is satisfied. A complete overview of all licenses can be found at our website, www.maxon.net.

The following applies to the Commandline license: This license cannot be used in conjunction with a normal Cinema 4D version. However, a Commandline version can run in conjunction with a normal license. If multiple license types exist, a Commandline version will always prefer the Commandline license.

以下适用于命令行许可证: 此许可证不能与正常的C4D 版本一起使用。但是，Commandline 版本可以与普通许可协同运行。如果存在多种许可证类型，命令行版本将始终倾向于命令行许可证。

Licensed for

许可证

Here, the owner and email address of the Maxon user account will be entered. Purchased licenses will be restricted to this user account. If you have online access to the account you can use Cinema 4D from any location on any suitable computer. Of course, each license can only be used on a single computer at a time. You must therefore make sure that the computer returns your license to the user account or the License Server (e.g., locally using the Sign-Out or Quit and Free License commands or globally in the Maxon user account in the Licenses tab by clicking on the small plus symbol at the top right of each license field).

在这里，将输入 Maxon 用户帐户的所有者和电子邮件地址。购买的许可证将被限制在这个用户帐户。如果你有在线访问的帐户，你可以使用C4D从任何合适的电脑上的任何位置。当然，每个许可证一次只能在一台计算机上使用。因此，您必须确保计算机将您的许可证返回给用户帐户或许可证服务器(例如，在本地使用登出或退出和免费许可证命令，或者通过点击每个许可证字段右上角的小加号在 Maxon 用户帐户中全局使用许可证)。

License leased until

许可证出租到年

You can take your computer offline - without connecting to the Maxon user account - for the time period defined here without running into issues with your license. This would be the duration of an offline license. At the end of the defined period - or preferably shortly before its expiration - you should take your computer online and sign in to the Maxon user account. This will be done automatically, e.g., if you restart Cinema 4D.

你可以让你的计算机离线——不需要连接到 Maxon 的用户帐户——在这里定义的时间段内不会遇到许可证问题。这将是脱机许可证的持续时间。在规定的期限结束时——或者最好是在期限到期前不久——你应该把你的计算机放到网上，并登录到 Maxon 的用户账户。这将是自动完成的，例如，如果你重启 Cinema 4D。

If this period is exceeded in offline mode, Cinema 4D will cease to work.

如果在脱机模式下超过这个时间段，Cinema 4D 将停止工作。

License lists

许可证清单

In this list you will find all licenses that belong to your Maxon user account. In most cases, this will be a single license, which you will find under Assigned Licenses.

在这个列表中，你会找到所有属于你的 Maxon 用户帐户的许可证。在大多数情况下，这将是一个单一的许可证，您可以在 Assigned license 下找到它。

If you have purchased multiple licenses, the list can look like the one pictured. You will see a demo license being used as well as 1 commercial license that is currently free and can be used by a Client at any time.

如果您已经购买了多个许可证，那么这个列表看起来就像图中所示的那个。您将看到一个演示许可证被使用，以及一个商业许可证，目前是免费的，可以由客户端在任何时候使用。

The license lists are made up of 3 sections:

许可证清单由三部分组成:

• Assigned Licenses 分配的许可证: These are licenses that are currently being used by one or more computers. : 这些许可证目前正由一台或多台计算机使用
• Available Licenses 可用许可证: These are licenses that are currently not being used by a Client and are available for use. : 这些许可证目前未被客户使用，可供使用
• Inactive Licenses 非活动许可证: Here you will find temporally limited licenses that have expired. : 在这里您可以找到已经过期的临时有限许可证

Assigned Licenses

分配的许可证

Here you will find two icons at the far right, with which you can do the following (only relevant if you want to manage multiple licenses):

这里你会在最右边找到两个图标，你可以使用它们来完成以下操作(如果你想管理多个许可证，这两个图标是相关的) :

• Sorting 分类: Here you can switch back-and-forth between computer names and license duration. : 在这里您可以在计算机名称和许可证期限之间来回切换
• List and Grid View 列表和网格视图: Here you can switch back-and-forth between the list and grid view for the licenses. : 在这里，您可以在许可证的列表和网格视图之间来回切换

Each license listed here has its own information: First you will see an icon for the operating system and to the right the computer name that uses this license.

这里列出的每个许可证都有自己的信息: 首先，您将看到操作系统的图标，右边是使用该许可证的计算机名称。

Next to the Clock icon below this you will see the time frame in which you can go offline with the computer without having to connect with the Maxon user account. This is 14Days by default. If no contact is made with the Maxon user account during these 14Days, Cinema 4D will cease to work.

在下面的时钟图标旁边，你会看到你可以离线使用计算机而不必连接 Maxon 用户帐户的时间框架。这是默认的14天。如果在这14天内没有与 Maxon 用户账户取得联系，C4D院将停止工作。

For License Server licenses you may see a Plug icon. This means that the licenses were installed offline, cannot be returned and will first be made available when they expire. The respective port will also be displayed to which this license was set when the license server settings were defined.

对于 License Server 许可证，您可能会看到一个 Plug 图标。这意味着许可证是脱机安装的，不能返回，过期时将首先可用。当定义许可证服务器设置时，相应的端口也将显示此许可证设置的端口。

Details about the Maxon License Server can be found in the chapter of the same name here.

有关 Maxon 许可证服务器的详细信息可以在这里的同名章节中找到。

Finally you will see the Cinema 4D version displayed that uses the license shown.

最后你会看到Cinema 4d 版本显示使用的许可证显示。

If you have Cinema 4D installed on more computers than the license permits, a license can have a small "x" displayed at the top right (exception: this button will not be displayed for License Server licenses and when you access the Maxon user account from an external source, this button will appear for all normal licenses). What happens when you click on this icon? It’s designed to retract licenses from computers to which you have direct access. The licenses that are freed up can then be re-assigned. The Cinema 4D version with the retracted licenses will soon after cease to work or display an error message when the application is restarted.

如果你的电脑上安装的 Cinema 4D 超过了许可证的数量，许可证可以在右上角显示一个小的“ x”(例外: 此按钮不会显示许可证服务器许可证，当你从外部来源访问 Maxon 用户帐户时，此按钮将显示所有正常许可证)。当你点击这个图标时会发生什么？它的目的是收回您可以直接访问的计算机的许可证。然后可以重新分配释放的许可证。Cinema 4d 版本与收回的许可证将很快停止工作或显示一个错误信息后，应用程序重新启动。

Imagine a laptop with a 14-day offline license that is suddenly defect or is stolen. Instead of waiting 2 weeks for the license to stop working you can click on this icon and retract the license. If you quit each session via the Quit and Free License command you will probably never have this situation to deal with.

想象一下，一台拥有14天离线许可的笔记本电脑突然出现故障或被盗用。你可以点击这个图标并收回许可证，而不是等待2个星期的许可证停止工作。如果您通过退出和自由许可命令退出每个会话，您可能永远不会有这种情况要处理。

Depending on the settings and the licenses involved, the following can also be listed:

根据所涉及的设置和许可证，还可以列出以下内容:

• Company or organization name (see 公司或机构名称(见Organizations 组织)
• For multiple assigned licenses a Free License & Assign button, which retracts the assigned license and assigns it to the Cinema 4D version currently running. 对于多个分配的许可证，一个免费许可证和分配按钮，它收回分配的许可证，并分配给Cinema 4d 版本当前运行

Note also that you can hover with the cursor over a license and a pop-up window with information will appear with the information just described. Furthermore, the Last Used date shown when the corresponding Cinema 4D version was last started.

还要注意的是，您可以将光标悬停在许可证上方，一个弹出窗口将显示上述信息。此外，最后使用的日期显示相应的C4D 版本是最后一次开始。

Available Licenses

可用许可证

At the far right you will find an icon with which you can switch the display of available licenses between list and grid view.

在最右边你会发现一个图标，你可以用它在列表和网格视图之间切换可用许可证的显示。

Each license has the following information:

每个许可证都有以下信息:

If you hover over the "i", the number of licenses (0/1 means 0 of 1 licenses are available, 1 is in use; 1/3 means that 1 of 3 licenses is available, 2 are in use).

如果您将鼠标悬停在“ i”上，那么许可证的数量(0/1表示1个许可证中有0个可用，1个正在使用; 1/3表示3个许可证中有1个可用，2个正在使用)。

At the right of the version name you will find the type of license, e.g., Unlimited, Floating, Demo, etc. A date is displayed for temporally limited licenses but most licenses don’t have a limit.

在版本名称的右边你可以找到许可证的类型，例如，Unlimited，Floating，Demo 等。临时限制的许可证显示日期，但大多数许可证没有限制。

At the far bottom you may find a Switch to button: If other licenses than those currently being used by Cinema 4D are listed under Available Licenses, this button can be used to switch to the respective license type (e.g., from an Educational license to a Commercial license).

在远处的底部你可能会发现一个 Switch to 按钮: 如果 Cinema 4D 目前使用的许可证之外的其他许可证列在 Available license 下，这个按钮可以用来切换到相应的许可证类型(例如，从教育许可证切换到商业许可证)。

This has the same effect as if you selected a different license type on the Sign out page (or via Sign-Out).

这与在“签出”页(或通过“签出”)上选择不同的许可类型具有相同的效果。

Note also that you can also hover over a license with the cursor and pop-up window with information will appear that contains all or most of the above information. Furthermore, the Last Used date shows when the respective Cinema 4D version was last used.

还要注意，您也可以将鼠标悬停在一个许可证上，弹出窗口显示包含上述全部或大部分信息的信息。此外，最后使用的日期显示当各自的C4D 版本最后使用。

Organizations

组织

If you own three or more commercial licenses you can set your Maxon user account to Organization mode. This means that you as an employee or company or public authority and owner of the licenses can manage the assignment of licenses to individual computers or user groups of your organization within your Maxon user account.

如果您拥有三个或三个以上的商业许可证，您可以将您的 Maxon 用户帐户设置为组织模式。这意味着你作为一个雇员或公司或公共当局和许可证的所有者可以管理分配许可证到个人计算机或用户组的组织在你的 Maxon 用户帐户。
