Hi - could we have a bit of help with setting up the licensing? It’s things like specifying mkdir -p /usr/local/Thinkbox/lmgrd in Terminal only to get ‘permission denied’
I’m not even sure OS X has the usr/local/ file structure!
I’m not an expert in the Terminal (hey, I’m a Mac user) so some guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Okay, I have the license server running, that’s no too hard. If anyone is still getting error messages, you need to make sure the correct port is opened for the license server. I did it recently for RealFlow, but need to refresh my memory!
Could you be so kind and give us a walkthrough,
beginning with setting up the license server thingie,
thanks – very much appreciated…
EDIT: Sorry, I have no idea how to get the license thing working, so I’m deleting my erroneous post. Hopefully the other posts on this board will help. Man I wish this was simpler - like a normal serial number!
If you’re in the right folder in the Terminal, run following:
./lmgrd -z -c /path/to/license.lic
If there are problems there, the ‘-z’ lets you close the license server when you close the Terminal. If you know it works alright, ommitting the ‘-z’ lets it run in the background.
There’s lots of information in here:

I’ve started an official support thread over here:

I got it running on my Mac Pro by getting a License based on my second Ethernet card.
license.dat goes inside:
usr/local/flexlm/licenses/
