SUMMARY
This article explains how NUKE licensing works both in terms of what licenses are requested and how the license usage appears on a license server.
MORE INFORMATION
Different licenses for different modes of NUKE
Different NUKE modes require different licenses:
- Nuke requires a nuke_i license
- NukeX requires a nuke_i and a nukex_i license
- NukeStudio requires a nuke_i, nukex_i and nukestudio_i licenses
- NukeAssist requires a nukexassist_i license
- Rendering a Nuke script from a terminal or command prompt requests a nuke_r license by default
(Instructions on how to make a terminal render request a nuke_i license can be found in Q100148: How to render from a terminal session using an interactive Nuke license)
NOTE: You can run Hiero with a hiero_i licence or a nuke_i, nukex_i and nukestudio_i license. However, hieroplayer requires a separate hieroplayer_i license.
When you purchase Nuke, NukeX or NukeStudio you will get the appropriate licenses. For example, if you buy 2 NukeX licenses you will receive 2 nuke_i and 2 nukex_i licenses.
