Running from the command-line is convenient for testing, but we recommend running the RLM server as a service once it’s been confirmed to be working.

The license server can be run from the command-line, or can be set up to run as a windows service so that it automatically starts when you boot your server. This is the folder that contains the rlm executable (rlm.exe). Place the license key file you receive from Redshift support to the same folder that contains the extracted RLM server bundle files on your license server.

The location of the folder is not important. Extract the files from the bundle and move them to a folder on your license server machine. The license server must be a physical machine, not a virtual machine.ĭownload the Redshift license server bundle here (Linux 64-bit), here (Windows 64-bit) or here (Windows 32-bit).The license server can run on Windows (XP, 7 or 8) 32-bit or 64-bit.All client workstations and render nodes which will be rendering with Redshift must be able to connect to the license server via TCP/IP.The machine you designate as your license server must meet the following requirements: You should now see the new Environmental Variable that you created.
