[#1]

I have download maya 2013 and installed the licensing server. But it is impossible to receive a license /

The client receive

A valid license could not be obtained by the network license manager  error -15.570.0

in the licensing server, I received the information in perform diagnostics :

this license cannot be checked out because: a PACKAGE componennt must be specified. Flexnet licensing error -125,147

Thank you

The diagnostics is misleading.  Do not use that functionality in the LMTOOLS.

Assuming you got the license .LIC file from Autodesk/Reseller and configured LMTOOLS properly, you should be in good shape.  If the license manager and the client are on the same machine, then you're likely experiencing an IPv6 issue or firewall port blocking.  This is especially true on Windows 7 or Server 2008 installations.

For more information about Network License Manager connectivity issues and IPv6, please see my discussion post here:

I had this problem. Turning the firewall off on the license server solved it. It was only the remote clients that were having this problem.
