    Hi,

    I have a license server with Version 11.7 for lmgrd. 

    In my PC I install and modfy the env with network in place of standalone. I have no LICPATH.ENV in my PC. I have no flexnet folder or *.pit in Adlm folder.

    I receive a message after giving the server name. I receive no licence.

     

    Please use plain text.

    Assuming that your license server is up and running and you have maya license available. and as you mention that  you have edited your license.env file and have changed it from standalone to network. You will need to create maya.lic file in C:\flexlm. 
    Content of Maya.lic 
    SERVER <Machine name or IP address of license server> 0
    USE_SERVER

     

    Start Maya

     

    Hope that helps

    Thanks for the update.
    Do you have Maya.lic in the c:\flexlm.
    if yes can you edit and use IP address instead of machine name.

     

    Can you post your debug.log file.

     

    In Lmtools under server status can you do a Perform Status Enquiry and post it.

     

    Do you have firewall, can you temporarily turn off and try starting Maya.

     

    Firewall Port and Application Exceptions
    Ports:  TCP  ports 2080 and 27000-27009

    Applications: adskflex.exe and lmgrd.exe


    I just saw in your message that you do not have .pit file in ADLM. You might want to uninstall Maya and reinstall it again  as network license so that all the necessary files are created.

    I have no folder flexlm...

    When I install Maya 2011, I must choose between try or enter a key. Before, in Maya 2010, I can tick use a server. That option doesn't appear...So I modify the licence. env with network in place of standalone.

    I don't use the firewall because myserver and my PC are in the same network.

    Here is the status enquiry.

    While installing you will you will come configure button where you can specify network by default it is standalone.  Attached Screen shot.

     

    Can you create a Flexlm folder in C:\ and create a Maya.lic file and its contents.
    Content of Maya.lic
    SERVER <Machine name or IP address of license server> 0
    USE_SERVER

    save and start Maya.

    If you get error can you post your debug .log (File that you specified in LMtools as log).

    To avoid all these errors, I would suggest that you uninstall maya and reinstall as a network and all the required files are automatically created.

     

    You can try this first before doing the Uninstall and reinstall.
    Autodesk Maya uses Maya.lic license file on the client machine to look for the license from the License server, Did you create a flexlm folder in C:\  If not  Can you create a Flexlm folder in C:\ and create a Maya.lic file and its contents.

     

    Content of Maya.lic (Use Notepad to type) (Do not use .txt extension)
    SERVER < IP address of license server> 0
    USE_SERVER

     

    If you get error can you post your debug .log (File that you specified in LMtools/ Config tab, Path to debug log).

     

    I have attached  a doc  for setting  a environment variable, this is not required if you have maya.lic file.

    Thanks for the log file, It cleared all my douts. Your earlier attachment shows that you are trying to run Maya 2011.  your log file do not show any trace of Maya 2011 license.

     

    You will need to contact ABC (Autodesk business centre) to get the updated license.

     

    Pls If you already have Maya 2011 license you will need to replace your current license with new one.

    you can post your license file for me to check.
