TIP To easily check which OpenGL driver is installed, use the glxinfo
program to list the top portion of the output, then look for the driver and
renderer strings. For example:
glxinfo | less
6 (Optional) For information on installing the Maya documentation
package, see
Install the Maya Help (page 24).
By default, the Maya Help is Internet-based, so launching the Help within
Maya calls an Autodesk web server to display the documentation.
7 Run the following command to set whether you are using a network or
a stand-alone license:
/usr/autodesk/maya2012-x64/bin/licensechooser
/usr/autodesk/maya2012-x64/ <licensetype> unlimited
where you specify standalone or network for <licenseType>.
This updates the license.env file (used by the Autodesk licensing software)
with your license type information.
8 Add /opt/Autodesk/Adlm/R4/lib64/to LD_LIBRARY_PATH to set your
shared libraries for this session.
For example, you can run the following command in a BASH shell:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/R4/lib64/
9 Run the following commands to register Maya with the Autodesk
licensing software, where <productKey1> and <productKey2> are your product
keys, and <serialNum> is your serial number:
■ (Stand-alone licensing)
/usr/autodesk/maya2012-x64/bin/adlmreg -i S
<productKey1> <productKey2> 2012.0.0.F <serialNum>
/var/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/Maya2012/MayaConfig.pit
■ (Network licensing)
/usr/autodesk/maya2012-x64/bin/adlmreg -i N
<productKey1> <productKey2> 2012.0.0.F <serialNum>
/var/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/Maya2012/MayaConfig.pit
NOTE If you purchased Maya alone and received only one product key, you
can enter the same product key for both <productKey1> and <productKey2>.
For example:
