How do I filter assets in the Cinema 4D Asset Browser based on my license?

The Cinema 4D Asset Browser shows assets from across Maxon's catalog, but not every asset is included with every license. Maxon One subscribers have access to the full library, while other license types (perpetual, trial, Lite, student, education, Cineware) may see some assets marked as unavailable.

This article walks through two ways to clean up the Asset Browser view so you only see what you actually have access to.

Option 1 (easy): Hide unavailable assets

This is the quickest way to get a tidy Asset Browser view. Cinema 4D will simply skip displaying any asset that's outside your license.

1. Open the Asset Browser.
2. From the Asset Browser's menu bar, open the View menu and uncheck Show Unavailable.

All assets that aren't part of your active license will now be hidden from the browser.

Option 2 (advanced): Filter by license

If you want a more targeted view, for example to preview which assets a Trial or Student license would have access to, you can use the License filter to list assets for a specific license type.

Find the License filter

1. Open the Asset Browser.
2. Click the Filters menu.
3. Hover over Other and choose License.

Selecting License inserts the following template into the Asset Browser search bar:

license:<<subscription,perpetual,trial,lite,student,education,cineware,mxo>>

Use the License filter

1. Remove the carets and the comma-separated list. Replace << ... >> with the license type you want to filter by.
2. Press Enter to apply the filter.

Example: to see only assets available to a Trial license, type license:trial in the search bar.

Spotting Maxon One-only assets

When Show Unavailable is enabled, assets that are exclusive to Maxon One subscribers are marked with a small Maxon One badge in the corner of the asset preview. If an asset shows this badge and you're on a different license, that asset isn't available to you.

TL;DR

• Quick fix: in the Asset Browser, open View and uncheck Show Unavailable to hide every asset that's outside your license.
• Targeted filter: open the Filters menu, go to Other > License, and replace the placeholder with one of: subscription, perpetual, trial, lite, student, education, cineware, mxo (Maxon One).
• Identifier: the Maxon One badge on an asset means it's exclusive to Maxon One subscribers.
