Node Lock?

Q:  What is my node lock?

  2. In R21 or later, your node lock is a unique ID which is generated from your c4d license and workstation hardware.


Q:  Can I change my node lock?

A:  if you have a floating license, YES. otherwise no. you license is locked the version you first used it with. 

In R21 or later, you can do this yourself if you have a floating license. in previous version you need to make a support ticket, to get your lock changed.


Important (all versions)



Support is not transferable. That means support can only be given to the end client/user, and not (for example) via a re-seller. This is because everything takes much longer to resolve via a middle man. It can be time and energy consuming, when you have a man in the middle, so lets please keep it direct.


Note: Dead, unused or old version accounts may be purged. If an account is out of support, or using an unsupported version, and the account holder does not respond to our support email, the account may be purged and the email address associated with the account will be removed from the mailing list.
