The form•Z cloud license manager (used by form•Z 10 and later) maintains all of your licenses for form•Z, RenderZone, and V-Ray and are accessed through a single sign-on.
When you launch form•Z for the first time, you will be prompted to sign into your account so that form•Z can access your product licenses. Once you have successfully signed in you will not need to do so again unless you clear your browser's cache or you do not use form•Z for a number of weeks.
By default your licenses are retained on your machine after you sign in. This allows you to continue working even if you do not have an internet connection for up to 30 days.
If you wish to use your products on a different machine, the license needs to be released from the first machine following these steps:
- Launch form•Z.
- Select License Manager... from the Help menu
- Choose the Release License at Quit option and the OK to exit the License Manager.
- Quit form•Z. Your license has been released from the machine.
If you regularly use multiple machines, repeat the same steps on all machines so that the license is released when you Quit and it is ready to be used on another machine.
If you are in an environment like an office or school that shares a pool of licenses, use this option to be sure licenses are available for other team members when the software is not in use.
If you have retained a license on a machine that you no longer have access to (ie a fatal problem with the machine or lost/stolen machine etc), please email us (support@formz.com) and we can reset your license.
