Hey guys,
Just spent a week with ADSK support trying to sort out why their RPM based install is borked.
Here's my notes should you guys come across this
1. Licensechooser is broken in 2013.5 DO NOT USE IT for an RPM based setup. Using it will generate an incorrect License.env file that apparently only works if you use "setup".
2. If you are a floating license customer with your license already in /var/flexlm/maya.lic simply open the file /usr/autodesk2013.5-x64/bin/License.env and change the contents from:
AUTODESK_ADLM_THINCLIENT_ENV=$MAYA_LOCATION/Licensing/AdlmThinClientCustomEnv.xml
SYNHUB_CONFIG_PATH=<SYNCFG_DIR>
MAYA_LICENSE=unlimited
MAYA_LICENSE_METHOD=network
To:
MAYA_LICENSE=unlimited
MAYA_LICENSE_METHOD=network
3. If you've already installed 2013, don't bother running adlmreg.
Oh yeah, and if you haven't started looking at Maya 2014 yet, they changed how they did licensing yet again.
