Workflow

To get Fracture running on your machine, you need a valid license. At the time of writing, all our licenses are node-locked; this means that each license is only valid for the machine for which it was requested. Please read on for step-by-step instructions on how to install your license and get up and running.

  1. Upon receipt of your payment you will be sent an email outlining how to request a node-locked license. Follow the instructions in the email to request a license.
  2. A license will be sent to you in zip format. Use winzip or winrar to uncompress it. The license file is called "fxlcn". It has no file extension and should never be renamed.
  3. Copy the license in your home directory. Please refer to the box below for more info about your home directory.
Windows XP: <root>\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\
Windows Vista: <root>\Users\<username>\Documents\
OSX: /Users/<username>
Linux: /home/<username>

Common issues

An error message (in the script editor) like the one below means that the license is not in the correct directory. The message tells you where FractureFX is expecting to see the license.

// Error: fracture : failed to open license file "C:/Users/Ed/Documents/fxlcn" // 
// Error: initializePlugin function failed (fracture) //
