MORE INFORMATION

 
There are 3 steps to get up and running.
 
  1. Download and save your licence file
    If you have purchased MODO and received a serial code then log in to the Foundry website and Activate your MODO Serial code to add Modo to your website account.  You can then download the License for your version of Modo from the 'Legacy Products' page.
  2. Download and install Modo
    You can either download MODO from the 'Legacy Products' page of your Foundry Online Account or from the MODO Downloads page.
  3. Install the License
    Launch MODO and a Licensing Dialog will appear.  Click on "Install License" then "Install From Disk", navigate to where you saved the license file then select it and click "Open".  
 
Modo should then install the license into the following hidden path and run /Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Luxology/.  
For a multi-user or floating Luxology style license you need to repeat the steps above on each machine that you wish to run MODO on.

NOTE: MODO can only install a license file if it has the correct name.  If the license file has gained any extra characters in the name, e.g. (1), or has a .txt extension then MODO will not see it as a valid license and it will not install it.

The correct filename is different for each major version of MODO.
  • Modo 601: modo48460.lic
  • Modo 701: modo58358.lic
  • Modo 801: modo70287.lic 
  • Modo 901/902: modo85499.lic
  • Modo 10 Series: modo109580.lic
  • Modo 11 Series: modo138707.lic (trial licenses only)
