SUMMARY
Please note, this guide is specifically for use of Modo 14 and below. If you are using Modo 15, please refer to the following guide: Q100585: How to activate your individual login-based licence

Additionally, teams login-based licensing is only available for Modo 17 and above, for information on configuring teams login-based licensing with Modo 17 and above please refer to the following guide: Q100660: How to activate your teams login-based license 

NOTE: Teams licensing is not supported on Modo 17 for users who use Power Translators and Power SubD-Nurbs plugins.

In the meantime, the following workaround can be used to license the Power Translators and Power SubD-Nurbs plugins with Modo 17: Q100690: How to license Power Translators and PowerSubD-Nurbs in Modo 17 when using a teams license

 

Before you can activate the license on the machine you will need to have a valid Login based license entitlement in your account on the Foundry website, either a Modo Subscription or Modo with Maintenance, or a Modo Trial.

You can view your current login licenses and entitlements at the 'Login Licenses' page: foundry.com/my-account/login-licenses

The UI for activating Modo is different for activating Modo 14.1 and above, or activating Modo 14.0 or earlier.

How to activate Modo 14.1

Steps:

  1. Launch Modo 14.1 or above, it will display a Licensing window if it does not find a license.  Click on Launch Licensing App:

How to activate Modo 14.0 and earlier

As of June 30th 2023 we have updated the build of OpenSSL used by our old login-based licensing system and no longer support older versions of the OpenSSL libraries. 

if you would like to run Modo 14.0 or an earlier build, you will first need to install and activate your license Modo 14.1 or above first.

Once you have activated your license in Modo 14.1, you can then launch an older build of Modo.

Further details on this update and running Modo 14.0 and earlier can be found in the following article: Q100672: Important update on older versions of Modo and Mari with login-based licensing starting June 30th 2023
