-===== Network License =====+In case of problems with GUI you can also create .cid file by running: 
 +<code>cerberProbe > ~/path/to/my.cid </code> 
 +cerberProbe is located in the same location as RDGroupLicenseTool.bin in  bin subdirectory
  
 +===== Troubleshooting =====
 +Single activation should work for all users, (also for all versions of plugins, 3ds max and Maya on the same machine)
 +the license file is located in C:\Program Files\R&D Group\Cerber\localLicenses  and available to everyone
  
-====== Notes ======+occasionally some user accounts may see hardware config differently, which causes license error 
 +so if you see license error in 3ds max for different user,  please send us CID file with the request for alternative license file 
  
-=== Client configuration === +this does not necessary mean that each user has to have a separate file, one alternative file usually work for everyone
- +
-When pressing "Save" "License Tool" simply creates //RDGROUP_CERBER_ADDRESS// environment variable, so you could create it with any desired tool or manually. +
- +
-Make sure to set proper port value: R&D Group **Cerber** uses port //45444//. +
- +
-**Make sure to open this port (45444) in your firewall!** +
- +
-Additional variables: //RDGROUP_PROXY_ADDRESS//, //RDGROUP_PROXY_USER// and //RDGROUP_PROXY_PASSWORD//. +

-=== Paths === +

-You could install local licenses manually; simply copy them to: +
