Maya Mental Ray

Exception during render: An error occurred in RenderTasks(): Deadline caught error “Error: (Mayatomr) : could not get a license”. If this error message is unavoidable but not fatal to your render, please email deadline-support@franticfilms.com with the error message, and disable the plugin setting StrictErrorChecking. (FranticX.Processes.ManagedProcessAbort) (Deadline.Plugins.RenderPluginException)
at Deadline.Plugins.ScriptPlugin.RenderTasks(Int32 startFrame, Int32 endFrame, String& outMessage)

this worked a week ago, nothing has changed that I know of.

Deadline is just the messenger in this case. Mental ray is complaining that it can’t find a license, which is something that Deadline doesn’t have any control over. Maybe double check that mental ray is licensed properly on the machine, or that there aren’t any problems with the license server that serves these licenses.

Cheers,
