At the moment I’m just testing the deadline 4.0 I am using 2 PC both with XP OS Spanish. I understand that without the license may use 2 PC. In the first I have installed the repository and the client and the other only the client.
The first problem that presented was that Maya could not send the job to monitor the deadline, this was solved by creating another folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\pedro\Configuraci¢n local\Datos de programa\Prime Focus\Deadline\temp
with the same strange character.
The problem now is that only render 2 frames one for each PC. I think this is because the client is looking in another direction different than where job was sended.
I created another folder but this time not works:
C:\Documents and Settings\pedro\Configuración local\Datos de programa\Prime Focus\Deadline\slave\jobsData
even coping the content to the first folder to de second, nothin.
this is the log:
