Maya Unlimited 2008

Hello there,



I’m trying to render a Maya Unlimited job, but it’s not working.



Here it what it says.

Any ideas?

Hi Chris,



Not sure if you’ve done this already, but if you haven’t, try

downloading and installing the plugin patch for Deadline 2.7.29178. You

can download it from here:

http://www.franticfilms.com/software/products/deadline/download/



Installation instructions can be found here:

http://www.franticfilms.com/software/support/deadline/releasenotes_pluginpatch_2.7.29178.php



If this doesn’t help, let us know!



Cheers,

That’s it - works like a charm.

We moved our Deadline manager and missed that little update.



Thanks!
