Purchase licenses from the website

Studio licenses can also be purchased on the website. Studio licenses can be node locked or floating.

For large orders and custom licensing you can contact us directly at sales@toolchefs.com .

Node locked licenses don't work with the license server. Please do not install the license server if you are going to use a node locked license.

Node locked licenses on Linux: 

On Linux you have to set the TOOLCHEFS_LICENSE_PATH environment variable.

First make sure the TOOLCHEFS_LICENSE_PATH environment variable is defined in your host software:

• On Linux, you can set the environment variable with your preferred method. The default value is "/opt/Toolchefs/Licenses/atoms.lic".

• With applications like Maya or Houdini, the environment variable can be defined in other ways. In Maya it can be set in the AtomsMaya.module, while in Houdini it can be set in the houdini.env file.

Node locked licenses on Windows:

• On Windows licenses are installed by default under "%localappdata%/Toolchefs" (you can use this path directly on a file browser)
• Alternatively you can still use TOOLCHEFS_LICENSE_PATH env variable as with Atoms VFX prior to version 4.0.
