Distributed license servers and Maya 2010/2011 on Linux

Environmental variable or specifying multiple license servers in the same “.lic” file will not work for distributed license setup for Maya(2010/2011) clients on Linux

The solution is to create one “.lic” for each server in /var/flexlm directory.

Maya would check in the /var/flexlm directory for “.lic” files in the alphabetical order.

Eg:-

First Server

/var/flexlm/a_mylicenseserver.lic

 

SERVER mylicenseserver 000000000000

USE_SERVER

 

Second Server

/var/flexlm/b_myotherlicenseserver.lic

 

SERVER myotherlicenseserver 000000000000

USE_SERVER

 

Maya will look for license in mylicenseserver and then in myotherlicenseserver
