In the next installation step, an informational text file will be displayed. This file contains
installation-specific information. Please read this file carefully because it may contain
information regarding changes to this installation document, among others.
Once you have read this file, click on Continue.
You will be brought to the registration page, in which you will be required to enter your
personal information and the serial number included in your registration information.
2. Enter your serial number(s) here. You can either type it into the corresponding field
manually or copy and paste it from an email (if you received it per email).
If you enter the serial number(s) manually, simply enter it as it appears, including
all digits, dashes and letters. If you have received an email containing the serial
number(s), simply copy the entire contents of the mail and paste it into the
installation window. The serial number(s) will be added automatically (3).
If you have already received final serial number you do not need to enter the
temporary number again use the final serial number(s) only.
Note: Entering the serial number(s) is only required for Cinema4D / BodyPaint3D,
the Team Render Server and the libraries.
Leave this field empty when installing the Team Render Client.
Attention: Additional serial numbers, e.g., for multi-licenses, can be ignored,
except for Student/Teacher versions. For these, the Cinema 4D serial number
must also be entered in the runtime license!
3. Only the first 11 digits of your serial number will be displayed here.
4. Here you can select if the serial number should be saved for the Current User or
for All Users.
Current User
The serial number will only be saved for your (current users) use, i.e. only you
(current user) and no other user will be able to use the application.
All Users
The serial number will be saved globally on the computer and can be used by you
(current user) and any other user.
Tip: The license will be available for all users of a given computer only if the
application is installed by the administrator.
5. Enable this option only if you will be using the MAXON License Server (MLS) or the
Reprise License Manager (RLM).
A separate data entry field will then appear, into which you must enter the MAXON
License Servers IP address and port number.
Installation Guide 9
Alternatively you can execute a license.ini file by selecting Select File. Open
the license.ini file that is normally located in the installation directory of an older
Cinema 4D version if the MAXON License Server has already been used. The IP
address and port will be entered automatically.
If you use the RLM Server, enable theUse RLM License Server option and enter
the computer name and not the IP address of the RLM Server computer and its port
into the Server field.
Confirm your selection by clicking on OK to close the dialog window.
If all information has been entered correctly, click on Continue.
In the following dialog window you will be able to choose from several types of
installations, depending on which serial number(s) that were previously entered:

files will be installed in addition to Cinema4D.
The default installation path is the Windows Programs directory. This path can be
changed, if desired.
Tip: When selecting an alternative installation path, the \Cinema 4D R18 or
\BodyPaint 3D R18 target directory must be entered manually. Otherwise all
program elements will lie in the selected directory.
When installing to a custom path, do not install Cinema 4D in the c:\programs
(x86) directory! Only 32-bit applications can be installed here.
Do not install this version of the application into an existing R17 or BodyPaint R17
directory. This will corrupt both installations!

Installation Guide 23
Notes
In order to install the documentation in a specific language (one of the available
languages) Cinema4D must first be installed in the corresponding language.
A language version that can be used with your version of Cinema 4D can be
recognized by its designation. For example, the language update with the designation
ENGLISH_18.009_20160709.c4dupdate can only be used with the Cinema4D version
R18.009. The English-language help file that corresponds to this version of Cinema4D
would have the designation ENGLISH_HELP_18.009_20160709.c4dupdate.
After installation, Cinema4D will run in the language that was just installed and the help
files can be accessed. To install the help files, proceed as described above.
Note 1: If you subsequently install an update it will initially be installed in English
by default. You must repeat the manual installation (the Online Updater may
automatically prompt you to do this) of the desired language after these items have
been installed. Only use the language package that corresponds to your version of
Cinema4D!
Note 2: If a language is installed by a different user, e.g. the administrator, and
subsequently run, the newly installed language must be selected manually in the
Preferences menu (Ctrl/Cmd + E).
If a Cinema4D R18 update is available on the MAXON web site and you want to install
it manually, proceed as described above.
Note: After an update has been installed, the corresponding language package
must also be installed!
