Installation & Licensing

[#1]

Do you fix this problem in future?

[#2]

hi

i did try to change the language and set it to english but i still have the same problem!!!! please tell me what should i do?

[#3]

Go to Page 6 of this post.  Basically, you need to delete the Maya folder in the Applications and a couple of other extra folders.  Then re-install the software....

[#4]

Please go to page 6 for this topic and read my post number 59 with answer to your post. In my answer I wrote you that your solution did not work.

I quote my post number 59

"I try to do step-by-step as you advise me.

1. My system is MacOS 10.6.6, language of OS is Russian.

2. I deleted /Library/Application Support/Autodesk/Adlm/

            /Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/FLEXnet/

Also I deleted al of Maya files.

3. I installed Maya 2011 as trial using 000-00000000.

4. I try to run Maya as Trial but get "error 20" again!

 If I change my system language to English, Maya run good. But If I change system language to Russian then Maya not run again and "error 20" is appearing."

After this you wrote answer me (post number  60) "This is a known issue.   You need to run it in English as a workaround.". By this answer you agreed that problem exists and did not fixed yet.

Than I answered you (post number 61)  "Do you fix this problem in future?".  And you answered me (post number 63) that I have to read your post number 58 again.

So, I confused. Please help me and explain what I undestand incorrectly?

David,

I'm at my wits end! I think I've spent over 8 hours reading the forums and trying different things. I'm on Mac OS X and my  language is set to English, but this solution of deleting the two folders and then re-installing Maya as a trial did not work for me. I am still getting the "error 20" message when I run the application.

One thing that might help is if you could explain how to completely uninstall Maya. I'm wondering if there's a file or directory someplace that I'm not deleting before I do a re-install. I have just been deleting the Autodesk folder in Applications. Do I need to delete anything else before trying to re-install? I've included the text from two of the log files below, in case that helps.

Any help you can provide would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Nicole.

My Maya 2011 license stopped working suddenly and I got the same error 20. Tried to uninstall and reinstall as a trial several times and still got the error. I'm using English so that wasn't the issue. Even tried installing Maya 2012 and still had the problem.

This solved the problem for me:

1. Open the file ~/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/2011-x64/Maya.env

2. Add these lines to the file:

MAYA_LOCATION = /Applications/Autodesk/maya2011/Maya.app/Contents
MAYA_LICENSE_METHOD = Standalone
MAYA_LICENSE = Unlimited

3. Save it and start Maya. 

Hope that helps!

Hi  everyone,

I FINALLY FOUND A SOLUTION to fixing the error "License was not obtained
Tried Maya 2011 (657C1 2011.0.0.F), error 20" and I thought I would share. 

I have been trying to solve this for two weeks straight, looking through all the forums, and going back and forth with Autodesk, all to no avail. Finally, I found a solution. Here it is. 

You need delete the file Maya.env which can be found below. This file is corrupt and is preventing you from booting up Maya. Even after you have uninstalled the software, it will still remain there, that is why uninstalling and reinstalling didn't work. You have delete this Maya.env file and when you start up maya again, it will generat a new Maya.env and then it should work. 

home user folder (not the hard drive) > Library > Preferences > Autodesk > maya > 2012 -x64 > Maya.env

If you need any help, feel free to email me directly at Johnnythaitran@gmail.com because I went to highs and lows to find a solution and I would want the same done for me. I hope this message finds you if you are looking for a solution.

Johnny
