Finally mac lovers.
How I got this to work.
Mental notes:
Current install on a Mac OSX 10.11.1
- I am in no way tech-savy, let's get that out of the way first!
- I just wanted to say that this worked for me and don't know if it will work for you.
- I had no previous rlm server installed on my computer. If you already have an RLM server and this goes south for you, I wouldn't know what to tell you.
- There is no Maxwell folder in the HOME(username) folder of my mac. I deleted this from previous install 3.1
- I cleaned-out my nextlimit .plst files in User/Library/Preferences/ just to be sure.
Let's get your hands dirty, mine is already filty!
01) Install the app from the .dmg file you've downloaded.
2a) Install the rlm from the maxwell_render_v3_2_0.dmg
2b) RLM will be installed in Users/Shared folder under the folder name NextLimit
3a) restart the mac
3b) After restart rlm server will start automatically in the background.
04) Open your Activity Monitor to search for rlm. (in your Utilities Folder)
05) Stop or quit the rlm. (I saw two rlm files in my activity monitor search and quit one and i think the other one quits with it)
6a) Paste all the files from this cracked rlm folder you got into the Users/Shared/NextLimit/rlm folder
6b) I opened and changed the port number in the nextlimit.lic file from 5053 to 5055 and saved the file as is.
6c) DO NOT put anything in the licenses folder (Users/Shared/NextLimit/rlm/licenses/)
07) I did a reboot/restart again. When restarted the rlm server should have been restart to, but now with our dodgy rlm files.
08) Open MaxwellStudio
09) Here it can get tricky cause this work on my computer and if you have questions at this stage, i couldn't answer it. In my case the activator was launched and because I changed the port number from 5053 to 5055 I activated maxwell using the floating licence choice (2nd radiobutton) from the activator window when maxwell studio launched. there i entered the host: localhost and the portnumber 5055.
10 Than i got this thing working.
11) remember to block communications with nextlimit home base with Little Snitch if you have it.
Goodluck and make things look good!
