   New ok figured it out… on MAC only…

   1. so copy the AMPED Folder contents into the 2016 or 2015 folder version…. (make a RLM named folder first…)

   2. with all the contents copied… make them in chmod 777 if you don’t know what this is… make them ALL READABLE, WRITEABLE and EXECUTABLE… (look it up online… ) right click > get info > permissions

   3. on terminal run the following command

   sudo /Applications/solidangle/mtoa/2016/RLM/rlm

   rlm server will start… now start maya and run Arnie with no watermarks

   if you have trouble with the “port 5053 busy” go to the “solidangle.lic” file and change the port to 5060 or another number…

   run again

   sudo /Applications/solidangle/mtoa/2016/RLM/rlm

   rlm server will start… now start maya and run Arnie with no watermarks

   have fun and don’t close the terminal window the server needs to be open… (the window is the server…)

   Much Love,

   S.O.C.

5. For Windows installation:

   1. Install Arnold
   2. copy the AMPED folder (with RLM server and files) to C:\solidangle\mtoadeploy
   3. Start the rlm.exe file by double-clicking
   4. Go to web browser and type in: http://localhost:5054/
   5. Click on “Manage Windows Services”
   6. Click on the APPLY Button to install rlm server as a Windows service
   7. Start up Maya and Arnold should now be watermark FREE

   This is what worked for me on a Windows 7 and Windows 10 machine. Hope this works for those that are having trouble!

6. Hi guy’s thanks for the upload. I’m on mac i’ve installed it following the instructions in the comment but in the terminal I’ve got this :

   I don’t know how to make it work, I’ve tried changing the port number but nothing make any difference.
   Anyone have an idea ?

7. So I’ve been searching an answer to my problem and I’ve tried to install Arnold all over again but with internet turned off, and it worked fo me, now the rlm is running.
   When I start Maya it, the arnold render is registered. So I don’t know if it was the right thing to do, but it worked for me, or it kinda work.

   Now I’ve got another problem which is that even with the rlm running, I still have water marks.
   Here is what appear in the terminal :
   11/12 13:58 (rlm) RLM License Server Version 11.2BL2

   11/12 13:58 (rlm) database. Please see your network administrator.
   11/12 13:58 (rlm) RLM processes running on this machine (in the last 24 hours)

   This time I have no clue on what does that mean.
