Did you check for any other running maya processes? Maybe a previous session crashed and maya.exe is still hanging around.

Check if there's a process using port 50007 (eg netstat -ano | findstr 50007, on Windows). That's the first port Maya will try to use as the commandPortDefault.

I guess you could disable the Default command port in Preferences > Applications, but that's not the best solution.

Hmm...interesting! We get this error when we start multiple instances of Maya (2016 EXT2 SP2).

What are the potential negative consequences of disabling the Default Command Port?

Thanks for any info

What are the potential negative consequences of disabling the Default Command Port? Does this just relate to communication with a browser? Or with Shotgun?

Thanks for any info
