Licensing the Workstation with a Local or Single
Remote License Server
After you receive your license for a local or a single remote license server from
Autodesk, use the license wizard to license to license your workstation.
NOTE For a redundant network license server configuration, you must create the
license files for the workstation and license server manually. See Creating a License
File for a Remote License Server (page 111) and Configuring the Workstation to
Use a Set of Redundant License Servers (page 112).
The license wizard creates the following license files:
■ Workstation license: /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/DL_licenseNetwork.dat
■ If you are running a local license server, it creates the license server license:
/usr/discreet/licserv/licenses/DL_license.dat. If you are using a remote license
server, you must create the license file for the license server manually. See
Creating a License File for a Remote License Server (page 111).
To license the workstation with a local license or a single remote license server:
1 Start the application. If no license file is found, the License Wizard opens.
2 Select “Yes, install the license code” and click Next.
3 In the License Installation dialog, do one of the following:
■ If the license server is on the same machine as your Creative Finishing
application, select Local Network License.
■ If the license server is on another machine, select Remote Network
License.
4 Click Next.
5 Open the license file you received from Autodesk in a text editor or
display its contents in the shell.
6 In the Local Network License Installation dialog, select the license text
and use the middle-mouse button to copy and paste the text into the
field. The text should resemble the following:
