+3Hi All,
Any help appreciated,
We are trying to deploy the new Maxon One .app from JAMF, however standard packaging seems to fail each time.
We had the same issue before with Red Giant Manager.
Seems to be an issue with it installing and running the RedGiant Link service.
It looks like it installs , however when you launch it, it gives the error that it needs to be fixed, and then just recycles through the same error.
Does anyone have this working? and if so how?
Thanks
Hello Brian, I have exactly the same issue (using MacOS12.4 and Composer 10.38) If I figure it out I will report back, if you have since found a solution I'd appreciate some pointers
+5I just tested this on a brand new deployment. For a lab deployment, you need the automatic login script from Maxon available here: How to setup the Maxon App for Automatic Logins
Here is the workflow I just tested successfully:
The expected behavior is that once the installer app is copied to the machine, the script runs and installs the Maxon application into the Applications folder.
For just deploying the Maxon One app (assuming the end-user has a login) you can just call the install.sh script inside the Maxon One Installer.app file.
+7@Joseph_Morris I too delivered Maxon one like you did only that I used a script to perform the install.
How did you license apps to run? I have followed all the instructions in the Maxon App Automatic login, however after installing Cinema 4D 2023 the license is not activated until I run the command
./mx1 license activate net.maxon.license.app.bundle_maxonone-release~education-floating
That command licenses the maxonone apps to work.
However I thought I would script the command but the command does not run in a script just only in terminal.
How did you get your automation of licensing in labs?

So I built three JAMF packages
When packaging the MaxonAppLogin.command you will need to run a chflags -hidden on the file before dragging the /Library/Application Support/Maxon/Tools/ folder into Composer. This will hide the command from regular users preventing them from grabbing your maxon account credentials.
Your MaxonAppLogin.command should look similar to this: /Library/Application\\ Support/Maxon/Tools/./mx1 user login -u <Your Maxon Account Username> -p <Your Maxon acct password>
The "./mx1" is for the hidden file to be called by the LaunchAgent
Do note that your Maxon Account password apparently can't contain special characters as it will get rejected by the command.
Installation process was as follows:
Created Smart Group for Cinema 4D being installed
Created Smart Group for Maxon App being installed with criteria "Cinema 4D package installed by Jamf"
When an update for the Maxon App is released, I simply update my DMG in JAMF, flush the logs for the Maxon App and LaunchAgent policies and let it go.
Once all three policies trigger, any user logging into the computer should automatically have the Maxon App licensed via the app on the institution account and floating licenses applied.
