Unexistent Plug-in

Deadline

I’m getting an error, with a old plug-in that we used when we had Maya 8.5, but deleted the plug-in and also Maya 8.5, but this error occurs when we try and render a project with Maya 2008::



Error Message

Exception during render: Error: (Mayatomr) : could not get a license

This error was printed by Maya. If this error message is unavoidable but not fatal to your render, please email deadline-support@franticfilms.com with the error message, and change the plugin setting StrictErrorChecking to false.

Hi David,



It looks like the scene file still contains a reference to “COLLADA”.

From the output, it would appear that there is still a

“colladaDocuments” node in the scene file, which is causing Maya to try

and load “COLLADA.mll”. However, I’m not sure that this is what is

causing the render to fail, because the actual error message that

Deadline is failing with is that mental ray for Maya can’t find a

license (which I’m pretty sure is completely unrelated in this case).



Cheers,
