Maya 2017 command line install with Redundent Servers HOW?????

[laurence.schuler]

Hi, I've been going round and round on this one. I used to use an install method very similar to the linux method for installing mac osx maya versions, but with 2017 that method no longer is an option as the licensechooser app is gone.

So here is what I am now trying

Install\ Maya\ 2017.app/Contents/MacOS/setup --noui --serial_number=<real serno here> --product_key=657I1 --license_type=Network

then I can start it up and manually enter the redundant servers and it will work.

BUT, I want to try to do this completely automated (we have quite a few systems), so how can I configure the licensing?

After I do the manual configuration, three files appear in the LGS/657I1_2017.0.0.F/ directory LGS.data,LICPATH.lic, and nw.cfg, but even after I replicate what the installer seems to do and create those with the same content, it won't start/. What is the secret to configure for the three redundent servers via the command line?

Thanks

The license file that is generate by Autodesk needs to be configured as redundant during the request. However, on the client machines, all you need to do is update the licpath.lic file with all three servers.

Hi Laurence,

Below are commands one can run from a Mac terminal to install Maya 2017 for redundant network license server environment.

Install\ Maya\ 2017.app/Contents/MacOS/setup --noui --serial_number=<real serno here> --product_key=657I1 --license_type=Network

then you can manually enter the redundant servers and it will work.

However, if you would like to try to do this completely automated.

Below are commands one can run from a Mac terminal to install Maya 2017.

Note: /Volumes/Install Maya 2017/Install Maya 2017.app/Contents/MacOS/ this is Maya installer folder.

cd /Volumes/Install Maya 2017/Install Maya 2017.app/Contents/MacOS/

sudo ./setup --noui --force --serial_number=123-12345678 --product_key=657I1 --license_type=kStandalone 

Note: 123-12345678 is a place holder of your Maya 2017 serial number.

cd /Volumes/Install Maya 2017/Install Maya 2017.app/Contents/Resource

sudo ./adlmreg -i N 657I1 657I1 2017.0.0.F 123-12345678 /Library/Application\ Support/Autodesk/Adlm/PIT/2017/MayaConfig.pit

sudo mkdir /Library/Application\ Support/Autodesk/CLM/LGS/657I1_2017.0.0.F

sudo touch /Library/Application\ Support/Autodesk/CLM/LGS/657I1_2017.0.0.F/LGS.data

sudo chmod 777 /Library/Application\ Support/Autodesk/CLM/LGS/657I1_2017.0.0.F/LGS.data

echo "_NETWORK" >> /Library/Application\ Support/Autodesk/CLM/LGS/657I1_2017.0.0.F/LGS.data

echo "SERVER servername1 000000000000" >> /Library/Application\ Support/Autodesk/CLM/LGS/657I1_2017.0.0.F/LICPATH.lic

echo "SERVER servername2 000000000000" >> /Library/Application\ Support/Autodesk/CLM/LGS/657I1_2017.0.0.F/LICPATH.lic

echo "SERVER servername3 000000000000" >> /Library/Application\ Support/Autodesk/CLM/LGS/657I1_2017.0.0.F/LICPATH.lic

echo "USE_SERVER" >> /Library/Application\ Support/Autodesk/CLM/LGS/657I1_2017.0.0.F/LICPATH.lic
