PLE licensing

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)
  If you copy files manually please make sure atomsVFX licenses are named atoms.lic and atomsRT licenses are named atomsRealtime.lic.
  Our licensing tool will look for files with those specific names.

1. Requesting your license

Get your license key as described at Getting the Mac Address (Node locked).

On the license page, accept the terms of agreement. Then paste the license key in the "License Key" field and click on the "Store" button.
The license key is used by our website licensing system to generate your licenses and it gets stored on our website. You can erase it at any time by pressing the "Remove" button (please note, you need to keep your license key stored while requesting a license).
