RenderMan License System

The RenderMan License System is a way for Pixar’s RenderMan software to manage access and usage rights. It ensures that only authorized users can run the software by generating license files either on a local computer or a dedicated license server. This system controls the number of simultaneous users, preventing overuse and ensuring compliance with licensing agreements. Essentially, it acts as a gatekeeper, balancing flexibility for legitimate users with security against unauthorized access, allowing professional studios to efficiently manage their rendering resources.
