Cerber Local License

R&D Group introduces Cerber – the network license server and protection tool developed by CineSoft.

After the installation of the plugin which supports Cerber you will find the “License Tool” under:

  • Windows: Start Menu → R&D Group → Cerber → License Tool
  • Linux:
    • Menu → R&D Group → Cerber → License Tool
    • sudo /opt/rdgroup/cerber/RDGroupLicenseTool

“Local” tab need to be selected

Choose the hard drive to be linked with the license, the plugin, amount of licenses and press “Save”.

This will show you the “save file” window and generate a request_<UserName>_<HostName>_<Date>.cid file on your Desktop (or other chosen directory).

Send this file to mail@rendering.ru.

Please, attach copy of you receipt or order number to avoid any delays in communication.

In the nearest time (usually within 24 hours) you will get an email from us (or your reseller) with *.lic license file attached. Save this file on your hard disk.

After you've received the *.lic launch the “License Tool” again and press “Add”, select the received file and press “Open”.

This will copy the license file to the Cerber local licenses directory.

You could also manually copy the license file to the Cerber local licenses directory:

  • Windows:
  • C:\Program Files\R&D Group\Cerber\localLicenses
  • Linux:
  • /opt/rdgroup/cerber/localLicenses

Notes

Client configuration

When pressing “Save” “License Tool” simply creates RDGROUP_CERBER_ADDRESS environment variable, so you could create it with any desired tool or manually.

Make sure to set proper port value: R&D Group Cerber uses port 45444.

Make sure to open this port (45444) in your firewall!

Additional variables: RDGROUP_CERBER_PROXY_ADDRESS, RDGROUP_CERBER_PROXY_USER and RDGROUP_CERBER_PROXY_PASSWORD.

Paths

You could install local licenses manually; simply copy them to:

  • Windows:
