Setup guide

6 Start the previous version of Burn with /etc/init.d/burnclient start
License your software
You can install the software without a license, but you must license it before you can use it. A “floating”
license system is used, made up of the following components.
1 License Server: A Linux daemon that provides concurrent licenses to computers on your network as
needed.
2 Licensing clients: Each computer on the network that requests a license from the License Server.
To setup:
1 Install the license server software (page 57) if you do not already have a license server in your network.
2 Get license codes (page 77).
3 Create a license file for a remote license server (page 59).
4 Configure nodes or workstations to get a license (page 78).
5 Optionally Change the default port used by the license server (page 60).
Two licensing scenarios
The licensing requirements for the Smoke for Mac OS X distribution of Burn are different from the Creative
Finishing distribution.
■ To license Burn for Creative Finishing Linux workstations, see License your software (page 76).
■ For information on licensing the Smoke OS X distribution of Burn, see Install the Smoke for Mac distri-
bution of Burn (page 113).
Two distributions of the same version Burn cannot be installed on the same node. However, either distribution
can process jobs sent from a Mac or Linux product, as long as it is licensed.
Get license codes
To obtain permanent license codes:
1 Log in as root on the license server system and get the unique Discreet host ID for the system by
running: /usr/local/bin/dlhostid.
2 Send the Discreet host ID (including the DLHOST01= part) to the Autodesk Media and Entertainment
Licensing Department either by email [e-mail] or by telephone [phone]
between 8 AM and 8 PM EST (toll-free in North America). Outside of North America, call 1-514-954-7199.
Install the license server software
The license server is a Linux daemon that provides concurrent licenses.
You can install the license server on a workstation or node in your network, or on any 64-bit system running
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop 5.3 with Workstation Option (64-bit), Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 4,
Update 3 (64- bit), CentOS 5.3, or CentOS 4.3.
