Very simple: How can I deactivate a license on a PC, without closing Cinema4D?
F.e. there is one machine rendering several jobs with Octane, but it's occupying a Corona License. How can I deactive this license, while not disrupting the rendering process?

Hi there, have you tried signing out from the licensing server? http://localhost:30304/

Hi there, did you managed to try this at all? Generally, the best way to release a license would be to stop or wait for the render to finish and then close the host software so that the license is completely freed.

Sorry for the late reply. Way too much to do.

Signing out from the licensing server is an option. Thanks for the tipp.

It's still more like a workaround. As it means I'll have to play the sign-in, sign-out game a lot. The license doesn't free up automatically. In fact its blocked, even when the machine "using it", is rendering on octane (no traces of corona in those scenes).

Maybe you could integrate a simple "free license" button? Would be small but time-saving implementation :-)

Hi, glad it worked to a point. Unfortunately, we don't have a way for emergency license release (yet).
