Maya provided by Alias
Lmhostid is a unique number created for each computer by the lmhostid program provided by alias. This number is required for purchasing a license, and is also called: Hardware Info: System ID.
Purchasing Maya
Make sure you purchase the floating license version, this is the only version that can be floated through a flexlm server. Keep track of the Customer Location Code (CLC).
License
Fill out the license form and select floating here: http://www.alias.com/spar/
Relocation
Relocation is required if you move the flexlm server to another machine, or you have a license file created with 1 hardwareID that you want to use on another server. Alias will provide you with a new license file if you fill in the relocation form: http://www.alias.com/relocation
License-Server Installation
Download pdr_LicenseServer10.80_linux.tar.gz which contains lmgrd and sgiawd, necessary executables for starting flexlm with an alias license.dat file.
Download it from:
musashi:/export/mirror/purchased-software/lin
OR
alias.com/glb/eng/community/downloads.jsp
put the license.dat file in the /etc/flexlm directory. Edit the file and replace 'server' with the actual server name.
Maya Client (Workstation) Installation
There are two steps to a workstation-installation:
- create the license-file, which will direct Maya to "talk" to our flexlm keyserver, for authourization to run
- install the Maya software (currently version 7 - Jan. 2008)
At this time of writing (Jan. 2008) we have 3 "Permanent" copies of Maya Unlimited, with Cloth, Fluids and Fur effects.
Maya Client License File
The location of this license-file varies a bit, according to your OS:
- Mac: /var/flexlm/aw_client.dat
- Windows: C:\FLEXlm\aw_servername.dat
- Linux, IRIX, etc: /var/flexlm/aw_servername.dat
Open a text-editor and create the license-file that points to our flexlm server. For Windows, the file is:
C:\FlexLm\aw_bismarck.dat
The file must contain:
SERVER bismarck.iat.sfu.ca 0 7111 USE_SERVER
Maya Client Software Installation
Grab the CD's, begin installing and follow your nose :-)
After installing, with the license-file in place, it should "just work" :-)
For server debug output:
# tail -f /var/log/flexlm.log
