The FLEXnet version that ships with Maya 2008 Extension 2 does not work as a floating license server on Japanese Windows Vista. |
Customers with floating licenses on 32-bit & 64-bit Windows Vista JP are advised to download and use the 32bit version of LMTools 10.8.5. ** |
A fix for this bug is currently being investigated and may be addressed, in whole or in part, in a subsequent service pack or extension release. |
** This update is not required for node-locked licenses. For Japanese Vista operating systems, please download and install the 10.8.5 version of FLEXLM from the following link: click here.
