Fusion can't find license when rendering from Deadline

Hi,
I am having trouble rendering any fusion comps through Deadline.
It gives me an error that there is no license file and in fact on the slave machine fusion’s own error message comes up and says that it can’t find the license.
But I can manually launch the renderSlave.exe and it sees the license.
So it seems to only not find it when using Deadline. From the error message when rendering using Deadline it seems to look for the license locally but the machine is configured to use a floating license.
Not sure if there are any other configurations that need to made to the plugin but I am not really sure where to start.
Using Deadline 6.1

here is the error log for the job

=======================================================

Hello Ilya,

So looking at the log you pasted there, it looks like we are actually getting the error not when we run RenderSlave.exe, but when we subsequently run “C:\Program Files\eyeon\Render Slave 6.4\eyeonScript.exe”. I guess the next step would be to run this job with the fusion cmd submitted in the monitor, and that should get us more information. Thanks.

Hey thanks for the reply,
I actually ended up solving this problem the most obvious way - restarting the machine.

I would guess the problem was that I was setting the environmental variables for the floating license through a batch script, and it wasn’t registering on some level. Restarting the machine did the job. :blush:

Glad to hear it’s working now!
