A network license (sometimes referred to as a floating license) is a license that
can be shared by various computers on a network. Maya is installed on many
computers (sometimes referred to as clients), each with a license file that
accesses the network license server.
If you plan to use a network license, you need to enter the name of your license
server during the install. Obtain the license server name from your network
administrator before you start the installation wizard.
If you are setting up a Maya license server, refer to the
Network Licensing
Guide
on page 71 for information on setting up a Maya license server.
Close other programs
To avoid any licensing conflicts when installing Maya, it is important that
you close all other programs and disable virus detection software before
launching the installer.
