AEGP Plugin CINEWARE SceneLayer: CINERENDER - Connection failure (5027 :: 12)

Working in AE CC2014.1 and C4D lite.  I have a project with a few .c4d files in it.  I'm working on this project at my work computer, and I then bring it home in the evenings and work on it on my own computer (both mac pros).  At work it's fine, at home I have problems. 

I get the error "AEGP Plugin CINEWARE SceneLayer: CINERENDER - Connection failure (5027 :: 12)" when I launch AE, and I think it does this for every .c4d file I have in this project.  I can see the file just fine in C4D lite, and in after effects I see a black screen in the comp window.  However I can see the thumbnail of the c4d file in the project window when I have the c4d file selected.  The layer is active in the comp's timeline as well.  Not sure what to do about this.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

Mac Pro 5,1 2x6 core

    Hey all,

    I resolved the problem by running AE as the administrator. Right click on the program and run as administrator. This is using Windows 8.1

      Вобщем решил проблемму , единственное что помогло это другая версия After Effects установленная в тот каталог куда именно ей хочется , ничего не менял. Помог Diakov. Widows 10

      Hey Adobe/Maxon, We need to talk about this...

      These fix's only work on personal machines where you are administrator or where you can readily change ports.

      I work at a large corporation, I am not the administrator, I will not be able to get an administrator to stop by every morning, or after every crash

      I cannot open new ports as almost every port in my office is closed by corp security.  I cannot surf 4/5ths of the internet, check any mail, update my applications or, as it seems now, run files that once worked. 

      I will add tot he confusion by saying I DELETED the C4D footage/File, reduced my file, imported into a new AE File, and I STILL GET THE ERROR.  No Cinema 4D what so ever.  I literally have 1 audio file, and 2 solids in my bin and I STILL GET THE ERROR!!!

      C4D R19, full version, DOES NOT work with AE live link. Period.

      Adobe blames C4D.

      C4D blames Apple.

      Apple blames Adobe. 

      Any issue you solve brings you to another issue.

      Save your money and use Blackmagic Fusion, Houdini, Maya or Blender instead.

        [EXPLETIVE DELETED] YES! after everything I have tried running the program as admin worked... I can't believe after hours of work on this problem this simple approach is all it took.

        I had this same issue but only on certain cinema 4d files. Some worked some didnt. Turned out it was an FDD deformer in the scene that was stopping it importing. Maybe a solution to some of the people here. As running as admin didn't work for me.

        Installing and using CC 2015.3 (After Effects version 13.8) should solve the FFD problem. It did for this person.

        It seems that the problem comes from TCP... Only change the CINEWARE TCP port

        A solution: CreativeCOW

        It's OK for me.

          Just started getting this problem... "cineware closethread" etc. yesterday after working on a tutorial course for the past couple of days with no problem. Then it started when opening a the project again with the c4d file in it.

          I have the same problem  (PC win 7).

          Thanks for the solution but it is not a final solution: I often start Ae by clicking on the *.aep file and in this case, it does'nt work.

          Adobe has to correct that!
