Although not a USB stick, but still small, low in power and x86 :

It probably costs less than a flexlm dongle (if it was an option).

Windows I don't know, it works on any other OS ;)

A solution on OSX is for instance, to run Linux on
Virtualbox (or Parallels or any other emulator).
this does mean though that every time you want to
use the USB license you need to start an extra OS
on your comp. I tested that an it works...

Hmmm...
So I'm confused. Is this possible or not? To walk around with a Mac
address in my pocket and a license that works with it?

    Hey Ron,

    That order is to choose the default gateway.
    Unfortunately the "ifconfig" command in the terminal
    still orders de NICs aphabetically (the way the kernel
    loads them).

    The hostname points to this NIC which is what FLEXlm
    uses.

    The weird thing is that this used to be the same on
    FreeBSD, using the linux environment, but since the
    last update it's been not a problem anymore.
    I expected similar results in OSX but I can't get it to
    work...
    I am using OSX 10.6.8 still though. Maybe in the later
    versions this is possible.

    In Linux (I use OpenSUSE) you can change the order
    of the network cards in a way that the first one detected
    is a USB dongle for instance. yet i assume this isn't
    necessary anymore with the latest FLEXlm server...

    Hey Arno,
    on OSX you can actually set the order of your network ports.
    Go to System Preferences / Network / bottom left settings button
    and click "set service order...".

    Isn't that what you're looking for?

        If you launch Nuke 7 without a license, the status report
        says it doesn't find an RLM license, so I guess is the Foundry
        is switching Nuke over to RLM as well. Great!

        I just checked my USB Ethernet dongle with the new license
        server on OSX but it failed... I guess it only works on Linux/BSD
        servers. In OSX you can't choose the order of appearance of
        the nics.
        As far as I could check this is not important anymore in
        Linux/BSD
        but in OSX it obviously is. (haven't got anything Windows here)


        I've got a Raspberry Pi here, and I think it's not worth the
        effort
        of getting the licenseserver to run on it.
        Why don't you get an old PC somewhere, install any Linux on it
        and serve the licenses over the web? Really any PC will do as
        long as it's x86.

        Just yo say that I too would love a portable license
        server solution. As much as I need my laptop most of the
        time that I need a Nuke license, it does seem a little
        over the top for jobs that I bring my own license to and
        am provided with a workstation.

        What are the plans for FLEX anyway? Will it be replaced
        by RLM eventually?
        It seems to make sense to only have to deal with one kind
        of license managing system for all Foundry products.
        And would RLM be capable of such a portable solution?

        Also, what about FLEX's "checkout/checkin" features to
        temporarily "borrow" a licenses between machines. Will
        that sort of thing be available for Foundry products
        eventually? It certainly would make life easier for those
        freelancers that own a license as part of their
        compositing services and work both fro home and on site.

        Thanks for bringing this up, I'm keen to hear opinions on
        this.

        yeah I worked on a  gig where all the floating licenses
        for the 3d software the studio was using came from
        abroad via the net.

        defiantly worth some investigation.

        I use a USB dongle which doesn't show up as the first
        nic in the list.
        Nuke runs fine with it. This wasn't the case with the
        former FLEXlm
        servers...

        Another option is to make the FLEXlm server available
        on the web.
        It runs like any other server (apache, ftp, etc) so it
        should be accessible
        from outside...

            I guess this is more of a support question but
            I think I will start my research here.

            Its come to that time that I should purchase a
            personal copy / license for myself of nuke.

            So my question is, I know you can get a
            floating license but is there way this license
            be on a USB key or (i do hate this word) dongle
            so that I can use it on my home machine and
            when travelling use it  on my lappy or even
            when am at a studio that does not have a copy
            of nuke stick it in that box and use nuke.

            I don't really want to carry around my lappy
            and use it as a license server.
