Deadline®
Download Deadline®
A license is required to use Deadline® unless you are running 2 slaves or less (in which case Deadline® runs in Free Mode). See the Deadline® FLEXlm Licensing Guide for more information on acquiring a license and setting up your license server.
After downloading the latest Deadline® installation package, see the Deadline® Installation Instructions for complete details on installing and configuring Deadline®.
Important Notice for 3ds Max users when installing Deadline® 2.7
In order to render 3ds Max jobs with Deadline 2.7, you must download the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable.
Then run the appropriate installer (one is for x86, the other for x64) on your slave machines. If you have both 3ds Max 9 32 bit and 64 bit on the same machine, you should run both installers.
Important Notice when upgrading from Deadline 2.0 to Deadline 2.5 And Later
Some significant changes were made in Deadline® version 2.5 that prevents it from being backwards compatible with older versions. Specifically, Jobs and Limit Groups from older versions will not work with Deadline 2.5, and can cause unexpected behaviour.
It is recommended that you create a brand new repository, use Deadline® Backup to copy over all of your settings, slaves, jobs, etc, then use Deadline® Configuration to point your slaves to the new repository.
