Hey everyone. Maybe someone hear can help.
I’ve successfully got Deadline running on a few machines. But limited to the 2 machine limit. I have a 30 day license from the people at Prime focus, but I cannot get the license server up and running. I don’t know if I copy and pasted the info wrong, if there’s something wrong with the installation, or if I’m just doing something wrong. Whenever I try to activate the license through the terminal I get an error that says “illegal instruction”
I’m running deadline primarily for Maya 2010 on a set of MacPros on Snow Leopard. Other than this license issue it’s running quite well!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Hey Jay,
We got your email as well. Try not using the “-z” argument and see if that helps.
Cheers,
Hey I got your email this morning. I’d actually stumbled onto the same solution the night before, sorry I didn’t post it on here earlier. But it seems to be working fine now! Successfully threw a few renders at it today in fact.
I have another license related question though. I noticed that there is an option to just have the slaves to just point to the license file. Can I use that instead of the License server? I’m not sure I guarantee that our IT guys will master controller will have a dedicated IP address. I tried pointing to it and got an error. Now that I have it up and running I’ll take a look at it again tomorrow.
Thanks for your prompt response!
All servers such as mission critical licence servers should always be on a static IP address (IMHO).
However, if you have a DNS server then the slaves should resolve the licence server IP address from the DNS?
I don’t think its possible to directly point the slaves at the server licence file as that’s not how flexlm works in network licence mode.

Mike’s correct, you can’t point to the license file when using floating licenses with FLEXlm (Deadline uses floating licenses).
