To set up each client, you must add information to each client computer’s aw_servername.dat file (on Mac OS X, aw_client.dat).
/usr/autodesk/maya2009/bin/opa
The Install License screen of the Product Configuration Wizard appears.
SERVER server 0 7111
USE_SERVER
Change the word server in the first line to match your machine name. For example, if the machine is myserver, it would appear like this:
SERVER myserver 0 7111
USE_SERVER
The SERVER and USE_SERVER lines tell the client which computer serves the licenses.
Errors in the license are highlighted in red; the text turns black when the license is valid.
The License Installation Results screen appears. You can click Show Details if you want more information on the license that was installed.
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 C:\FLEXLM or /var/flexlm/ directory on the other clients.
This completes the licensing procedure for networked licenses.
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 /var/flexlm or C:\FLEXLM\ directory on the other clients.
When copying a file from a Windows machine to a Mac OS X or Linux 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.
