Changes to how Creative Clo= ud manages software licensing affects how you install render-only instances= of After Effects CC, known as render engines.

 

After Effects CC allows you= to install non-royalty-bearing render-only instances of the application on= multiple computers without using your 2 license activations, same as After Effects CS6.

 

What has changed is that yo= ur software license is activated when you install Creative Cloud applicatio= ns. Previous versions of After Effects activated when the software was launched for the first time.

 

This means that when you in= stall a render-only instance of After Effects CC you will want to sign out = of Creative Cloud on that computer to avoid using one of your activations.

 

Follow these steps to ensur= e that your activations are not used by installing render-only instances of= After Effects CC:

 

1. If you have installed Cr= eative Cloud applications on 2 computers, sign out of one of them. Opening = any of the applications then choose Sign Out from the Help menu. You can sign back into Creative Cloud on this computer after the ren= der-only instances are installed.

 

Then on each computer you w= ant to install a render-only instance of After Effects CC:

 

2. Go to the Download Cente= r at http://creative.adobe.com to down= load and install After Effects CC.

3. When the installation is= complete, launch After Effects.

4. Choose Sign Out from the= Help menu.

5. Quit After Effects.=

6. Create the ae_render_onl= y.txt file as per the instructions.

 

You do not need to follow t= he instructions above if you are deploying After Effects CC as part of a mu= lti-seat license, Creative Cloud for teams or enterprise. Instead use the Creative Cloud Packager tool to deploy the software. In th= is case, create the ae_render_only_node.txt file before deployment:

 

1. Create the ae_render_onl= y.txt file as per the instructions.

2. Deploy After Effects CC = using Creative Cloud Packager.
