Could you possibly add standard functionalities to your license management like "release license"?
We got a lot of C4D licenses and use different renderers for different jobs.
We don't have as many Corona licenses as we got Cinema 4D licenses.

Corona licenses work like "first come, first served". The first one, who opens up Cinema 4D in the morning, get's the license. No matter if corona is used or not. The license is blocked.

If someone else wants to use a corona license, he has to ask the former one to close his Cinema 4D (nothing else works reliable, not even logging out of the licensing server), then open his own Cinema 4D, to get the license. This is very impractiable, as two guys need to sort of licensing and none of them can work in the meantime on any job, either.

Octane f.e. activates a license, as soon as you start working with it, not any time earlier.
Insydium Fused acts similiar to Corona, but allows to release a license in C4D. That's ok, too.


PS: I don't consider answers like "purchase more licenses" as a solution.

Revisiting licensing across all Chaos products is planned to happen next year, have got no more specifics than that for now though. Factors like this are reasons why we want to revisit it and see what, if anything, can and should be done.
