Getting License for slaves

Deadline
1

We installed our license on the Deadline server and I can connect with one machine. That machine gets 1 of 8 available licenses. So far so good.

The problem is none of my other machines can get licensed. I get this error:

Error Connecting to Registry: An error occured while trying to connect to the registry. Make sure you have Administrator provledges.

Access to path “/Users/Admin/.flexlmrc” is denied.

I’m on Mac clients and my user account is an admin account. Any ideas?

Thanks.

It sounds like you need to set the appropriate read/write permissions for that file. Perhaps the easiest way to do this is to run this from a terminal:

chmod 0777 "/Users/Admin/.flexlmrc"

I tried the chmod command and got this result:

“Unable to change file mode on /Users/Admin/.flexlmrc: Operation not permitted”

Still unable to license more than one machine. It doens’t look to me that the .flexlmrc file exists on my machines. Should it?

Sounds like you don’t have ownership of that file.

Use:

sudo chmod 0777 /Users/Admin/.flexlmrc

to get around that. It will ask you for your password.

Out of curiosity, if you do:

ls -l /Users/Admin/.flexlmrc

who does it say owns the file? (the first name in the line it prints).

Hope that helps!
