Autodesk 3ds Max Services & Support

Setting up a license server for a combination of Maya, 3ds Max, Softimage, Mudbox, MotionBuilder, and Smoke for Mac OS X licenses

Issue

You have network licenses for several Autodesk products, and you want to serve all the licenses from the same license server. For example, you have 3ds Max 2011, Softimage 2010, and Maya 2009 licenses.

Solution

If the licenses use the same vendor daemon, you can combine the license files. For example, if all your licenses are 2011 licenses, you can combine the licenses into a single license file.

If the licenses use different vendor daemons, you need to create two license services: one for the adskflex vendor daemon, and one for the sgiawd vendor daemon. For example, if you have Maya 2010 and Maya 2009 licenses, you cannot combine the license files, so you need to create two separate license server services.
