3Delight licensing is controlled through a separate proprietary program called licserver that will be included in the packages you will receive from sales (the program is not included in the free package since no license key is needed in that case). The licensing software can run on the same machine where the software is installed, or on another machine on the same network. The license server provides floating licenses: they can be used on any machine on a given network.

Info

The hostid is usually the MAC address of the machine, but not always. The MAC address can change after the machine is restarted. Our licutils command automatically detects this and will provide a fixed and proper hostid. For this reason, it is important and necessary to use the licutils command to obtain the hostid.

Info

The license server we provide is designed to serve licenses easily to thousands of nodes even if running on a low performance machine. On the other hand, it can become unresponsive if installed on a powerful machine with a too heavy load (if it is also used for rendering for example). So, it is important to carefully choose the machine for the license server as it may affect the performance of an entire render farm.
