- C4D Commandline Product Added into the Maxon App GUI, and can now be assigned licenses through the ellipsis menu across from the product.
- C4D Commandline does not have install/uninstall or Info/Learn More options.
- This applies to both RLM and Maxon Account mode.
- Red Giant tools are now listed in a collapsible category within the Product Grid.
- If no Red Giant license is available, a Buy button will be shown.
- Users can click Learn More to be directed to more information on the Maxon website.
- Customers with Standalone Universe subscriptions will see Universe as a separate line item above Red Giant.
- Red Giant tools are no longer referred to as "Suites."
- If no Red Giant tools are installed, or if only some tools are installed with no updates available, RG will show "Install" text.
- Maxon Account Mode Product Grid
- Features a grid broken out into multiple sections:
- Subscription products: only takes into account subscriptions from MyMaxon.
- Perpetual products: Includes text indicating that all perpetual products are version-locked, and instructions on how to upgrade. If a perpetual licenses via MyMaxon, the product name and a perpetual license version will be displayed.
- Installed Version: Only shows if the version installed is licensed by a perpetual license.
- License Tooltip: Orange icon shows if it's needing a license assignment. Green for assigned.
- Update Button: Only shows if the product version is lower than the most recent version licensed by the perpetual license.
- Up-to-Date text is not shown regardless of which version of the product is installed.
- ZBrush 2023 Perpetuals
- Full license ZBrush 2023.0.x, allowing users to use ZBrush 2023.1x or higher, but new features are disabled.
- Therefore ZBrush 2023 perpetual is considered to license all of v2023.
- If ZBrush 2023.1.x or higher is installed, the license tooltip will show Partial License to indicate this special case.
- If no ZBrush is installed (or v2023.0x is installed), then Partial License label will not be shown in the license tooltip.
- Serials. Only applicable to Red Giant products. Shows the Red Giant tool, followed by the version licensed by the serial.
- If the Maxon App detects a user may have a Redshift node-locked license, Redshift will be listed at the bottom of the list, with a tooltip "Possible Perpetual Node-Locked license."
- Mobile Apps
- Features a grid broken out into multiple sections:
- Note: This release removes the ability to provide Red Giant serial numbers. To regain this ability, contact support for a serial entry tool.
Bug Fixes

- Learn More alert is now shown in Analytics alert.
