Node-locked license setup

As of August 5th, 2025, Golaem will no longer provide direct support.

All support for Autodesk Golaem will now be handled exclusively through Autodesk support channels and this website will be deactivated.

Please bookmark the Autodesk Golaem Support section for any future support needs related to Autodesk Golaem packages.

Install a node-locked Golaem license

Set the golaem_LICENSE environment variable to the license path, e.g. C:\Golaem\myLicense.lic (see how to set environment variables).

If your license expires, Golaem will draw a PLE License (and warn you in various way) which will contaminate your scenes when you save them. To avoid this, you can set the GLMCROWD_NO_LICENSE environment variable to 1.

 

You can check this video in order see in practice how to setup an environment variable, and how to avoid the PLE watermarking.

 

Check license status

Open the About Window (Golaem Menu / About)

The About Window will display the license status and the error message (if there's one).
