C4DtoA: Checking the Arnold Log - Arnold User Guide

1. Start CINEMA 4D.

2. Click Render > Edit Render Settings.

3. Set the Renderer to Arnold Renderer.

4. On the Arnold Renderer > Diagnostics tab, set the Verbosity level to Info.

5. Click Render > Render to Picture Viewer.

6. Open the Console (click Script > Console).

7. In the Console, find the "[clm]" messages:.

   C4DtoA | 00:00:00 810MB | authorizing ...
   C4DtoA | 00:00:00 810MB WARNING| rendering with watermarks because of failed authorization:
   C4DtoA | 00:00:00 811MB | [rlm] error initializing license system:

   C4DtoA | 00:00:00 811MB | [clm] generic license checkout error (22)
   C4DtoA | 00:00:00 811MB | environment variables:
   C4DtoA | 00:00:00 811MB | [rlm] solidangle_LICENSE = (not set)
   C4DtoA | 00:00:00 811MB | [rlm] RLM_LICENSE = (not set)
   C4DtoA | 00:00:00 811MB | [clm] ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE = @localhost
   C4DtoA | 00:00:00 811MB | [clm] LM_LICENSE_FILE = (not set) 

8. Is ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE set?

On OSX, ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE won't be set, because ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE is set in the .flexlmrc file, not as an environment variable.

9. There should be a clm error message like generic license checkout error (22). Check the common errors list for suggestions.
