When you purchase a Lumion license, you will receive a license key in your email. This is a floating license, it works the same as network licenses. You can use the license indefinitely and you can install a single Lumion license key on multiple computers of yours. However, if two or more people want to use one single Lumion license key on many computers at the same time, you need to add more seats to your license.

Lumion needs internet access to open and shut down Lumion, as well as to use the following functionality: MyLumion uploads, OpenStreetMap downloads, and uploading videos to YouTube in Movie Mode.

How to use Lumion license on Chip Render?

Therefore, you will need to install Lumion (one time) and use your own license on Chip Render. How to do that? Let’s find out.

  • If you have extra licenses or seats, everything is easy. After installing Lumion on the remote workstation, add your key to open and start using Lumion.
  • If you only have one license, you need to transfer that license to the remote workstation to use. On your local computer, click on the Quit button on Lumion software, Lumion will release the License Key. Because the Quit button connects to the Lumion server. You might need to wait a few minutes for the system to release your key. Then, the software will automatically close. This process requires the internet, so make sure you are always connected.

The next step is to install Lumion on the Chip Render Cloud Workstation. There are two options:

1. Download Lumion from your Lumion account. The downloaded version from your account already has a key license embedded, so you can open it without adding anything.

2. If your Lumion version is 9.0.2, 10.3.2, 10.0 pro, or 11.0.1, then Lumion will ask for your key when you open it. Please find your “Getting started with Lumion” email to take the key code.
