maya network deployment and licensing - no gui

I manage a small linux based render farm. I have to install and license Maya on all render nodes. I've already installed a license server. Server works fine - I'm sure. Now I have to install Maya. I installed Maya RPM and adlmapps RPM on one of the nodes. I edited License.env file and changed license method from 'standalone' to 'network'. I also created a file LICPATH.LIC in /var/flexlm directory. Unfortunately, when I try to render, I get this:

Starting "/usr/autodesk/maya2011-x64/bin/maya"

mental ray for Maya 2011
mental ray: version 3.8.1.26, Feb 7 2010, revision 110437
File read in 0 seconds.
Result: /server/a/Fx/farm_test/scenes/cube.mb
initMPS with licenseOption 0
AdlmInt Error: The AUTODESK_ADLM_THINCLIENT_ENV XML file could not be loaded
maya: License was not obtained

License method:
environment variable MAYA_LICENSE_METHOD='network'

Product choice:
environment variable MAYA_LICENSE='unlimited'

License file override:
environment variable MAYA_ALT_EN is not set
// Maya exited with status 255

I think I have to setup something else before I start to render. I tried this:
./adlmreg -i N 657C1 657C1 2010.0.0.F /var/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/Maya2011/MayaConfig.pit
And I got this:
Registration failed. Reasons: 13

I haven't found any docs for adlmreg, so I have no idea what "Reasons: 13" mean. I'd be very grateful if someone could tell me, how to install and license Maya using only command line interface.

Attached is the Maya install document, you will find the "Install Maya on Linux using RPM

utility" on page 19 , 20 and 21. It includes step by step information on how to install Maya on Linux.

Run the following commands to register Maya with the Autodesk licensing
software for Network license.
/usr/autodesk/maya2011-x64/bin/adlmreg -i N
2011.0.0.F
/var/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/Maya2011/MayaConfig.pit


I hope that helps.

Cheers

Ok, I did what you asked. This is what I got:

[root@node01 bin]# /usr/autodesk/maya2011-x64/bin/adlmreg -i N 2011.0.0.F /var/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/Maya2011/MayaConfig.pit

Invalid number of arguments.
usage: ./adlmreg -i N 657C1 657C1 2011.0.0.F 000-00000000 /var/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/Maya2011/MayaConfig.pit
./adlmreg -u N 657C1 2011.0.0.F

So I changed the command a bit:
[root@node01 bin]# ./adlmreg -i N 657C1 657C1 2011.0.0.F my-serialnumber /var/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/Maya2011/MayaConfig.pit
Registration Succeeded.

I thought this would be it, but I still coudn't render:

[root@node01 bin]# Render -s 1 -e 10 -proj /server/a/Fx/farm_test/ /server/a/Fx/farm_test/scenes/cube.mb

Starting "/usr/autodesk/maya2011-x64/bin/maya"

License method:

Product choice:
environment variable MAYA_LICENSE='unlimited'

License file override:
environment variable MAYA_ALT_EN is not set
// Maya exited with status 255



Then I checked License.env file in Maya/bin directory. I changed it from:

AUTODESK_ADLM_THINCLIENT_ENV=$MAYA_LOCATION/Licensing/AdlmThinClientCustomEnv.xml
MAYA_LICENSE=unlimited
MAYA_LICENSE_METHOD=network

to:

MAYA_LICENSE=unlimited
MAYA_LICENSE_METHOD=network

So far everything works fine. Thank you for your help.
