I had my drive die so I cloned one of our other machines at the office and now nuke boots up in PLE mode because it can't seem to find our license server. Our tech guy is out of the country so unfortunately I am stuck. I tried looking through the resources on Foundry's website, but all those are pointing towards installing the licenses on the local machine, but we have a license server here. My environment variable is set up and pointing to the proper path for the menu, gizmos, etc. I know I probably just need to copy over the license files from another machine, but where do they go exactly? Any help would be greatly appreciated since I want to get back to working! -- Nick ___ Nuke-users mailing list Nuke-users@support.thefoundry.co.uk, http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/ http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-users ___ Nuke-users mailing list Nuke-users@support.thefoundry.co.uk, http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/ http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-users
Re: [Nuke-users] Float License Directory
as you have a license sever you need to tell the machine where to look for it. i can't tell you exactly how to do that on OSX as we're on windows. but i guess you do it the same way. which is by setting an env variable that tells nuke where to look for the license server. here i set the variable FOUNDRY_LICENSE_FILE to be @machine where machine can be either the ip address or the name of the license server. off the top of my head i don't know how to do this on OS X. but if you find that out i think it should get you there...

Re: [Nuke-users] Float License Directory
The weird part is that the env var is already directed to correct directory. I emailed their support - so we'll see what happens.

in /usr/local/foundry/FLEXlm/ make sure you have a file called foundry.lic and it's contents should be: SERVER server name server hostid VENDOR foundry USE_SERVER On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 12:47 PM, Nick Guth nick.g...@gmail.com wrote: The weird part is that the env var is already directed to correct directory.
