Hello all,

I am an aspiring motion graphics artist who is looking to use Maya/Cinema 4d Lite to create logos. I am currently on a Pc laptop. When I try to use Cinema 4D Lite through after effects I am met with this window.

 

Ive already tried to go through the other topics that have been posted about this exact problem, but i havent found any answers on how to get this program running on my pc. Please help me out, this is becoming frustrating. I can't find the license on Maxon's website, nor am i willing to buy Cinema 4D.

Your C4D seems to get access to the floating license server. You check the the support docs below.

If you do not wish to use the floating license, you simply uninstall it and reinstall it as node-locked.

It sounds like you have a corrupt install. Try following the steps in the User Guide to remove and then reinstall After Effects. https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html#run-the-creative-cloud-cleaner-tool
