MAYA_LICENSE_METHOD=network
to set Maya to use a network license.
If you are switching from a stand-alone to a network license, continue
with the following steps to set your license server name.
3 Navigate to the following directory to locate and open the LICPATH.LIC
file.
■ (Windows) C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2011
■ (Mac OS X and Linux) /var/flexlm/
4 Edit the line SERVER <servername> where <servername> is your license
server name.
If you do not find the LICPATH.LIC file in this location, you can create a
license file by saving a text file with the extension .lic, and including the
following lines:
SERVER <servername> 0
USE_SERVER
IMPORTANT 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 locate the Maya.env file
■ (Windows) C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\maya
■ (Mac OS X)
/Users/username/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/version
■ (Linux) /home/<user>/maya
