Stand-alone Licensing FAQs
How do I switch my license from stand-alone to network or
network to stand-alone?
If you have purchased stand-alone and network licenses and you want to
switch which license Maya is using, there are two main methods to change
the license type.
■ Uninstall and re-install Maya, changing the type of license you specify
during the install.
■ Edit the MAYA_LICENSE_METHOD environment variable in your
license.env file.
If you have added the MAYA_LICENSE_METHOD variable to your system
environment variables or to a Maya.env file, you must also update the
license type in those locations.
To edit the MAYA_LICENSE_METHOD environment variable
1 Locate the license.env file in the following location:
■ (Windows) C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2011\bin
■ (Linux) /usr/autodesk/maya2011-x64/bin
■ (Mac OS X) In the Maya installation directory (by default
/Applications/Autodesk/maya2011/), right-click the Maya application
and select Show Package Contents. Locate the license.env file in the
Contents directory.
2 Edit the MAYA_LICENSE_METHOD variable to indicate the type of license
you want, for example:
MAYA_LICENSE_METHOD=standalone
