Client Setup

To set up each client, you must add information to each client computer’s (Windows) aw_servername.dat or (Mac OS X) aw_client.dat file.

To set up a client

Make sure the license server and client can access each other through your TCP/IP network.
Do one of the following:
- (Windows) Select Start > Programs > Autodesk > Autodesk Mudbox 2009 > Licensing
- (Mac OS X) In the Mudbox directory (by default, this is /Applications/Autodesk/Mudbox2009/), double-click the Autodesk Product Configuration Wizard icon.
In the Product Configuration Wizard, expand the icons, then click I have a license that I need to install.
The Install License screen of the Product Configuration Wizard appears.
Select I would like to type or paste in my license file and click Next.
In the text area provided, type:
```
SERVER server 0 7111 
```
```
USE_SERVER
```
Change the word serverin the first line to match your machine name. For example, if the machine is myserver:
```
SERVER myserver 0 7111 
```
```
USE_SERVER
```
The SERVER and USE_SERVER lines tell the client which computer serves the licenses.
Press Enter to leave a blank line at the end.
Errors in the license are highlighted in red; the text turns black when the license is valid.
Click Next to save the file to the default location:(
- (Windows) C:\FLEXLM
- (Mac OS X) /var/flexlm/
The License Installation Results screen appears. You can click Show Details if you want more information on the license.

While you can go through this series of steps on each machine, once you have created the first aw_servername.dat file, you can copy it to the (Windows) C:\FLEXLM or (Mac OS X) /var/flexlm/ directory on other clients.

This completes the licensing procedure for network licenses.

NoteYou can use an IP Address instead of the name of the server. For example, a license file named aw_myserver.dat on a client machine that is referencing the IP address appears as follows:

SERVER 10.0.0.10 0 7111

USE_SERVER

Copying license files to other clients

While you can go through this series of steps on each machine, once you have created the first aw_servername.dat file, copy it to the (Windows) C:\FLEXLM\ or (Mac OS X) /var/flexlm directory on the other clients.

When copying a file from a Windows machine to a Mac OS X machine, there may be DOS control characters in the license file. You can remove them by using the tounix utility or a similar utility or text editor that ensures your license file is in the proper format.
