Licensing Maya
Installing license server software
For more details on licensing, see
Licensing Maya.
If you are setting up a networked license server
for Maya licenses, you do not need to install Maya on the license
sever machine. You only need to install the licensing software on
that machine.
- On
Windows, you only need to install the Autodesk License Server package,
available as a Custom install. For more information, see
Installing Maya (Windows).
- On
Mac OS X, you only need to install the Autodesk License Server package,
available in the Additional Items folder on the Mac OS X folder
of the Maya DVD. For more information, see
Software that can be installed separately.
- On
Linux, you only need to install the AWCommon packages.
For more information, see
Installing Maya (Linux).
You can find license server tools on the Maya
DVD in a folder called ‘LicenseServerTools’. You can choose if you
want to use IPv4 or IPv6 compliant license tools. You can also find
license server tools online, at:
