How to: network configuration of Maya 2010.

With the move over to the Autodesk Network License Manager, there have been changes to how Maya 2010 Network is configured and managed. This has raised many questions.

I've recorded a few video tutorials that cover the installation of the AdLM on Windows, how to switch a Standalone installation of Maya 2010 to a Network installation on Windows and Mac, and how to troubleshoot a Network installation of Maya 2010 on Windows...

Watch them here... 

1) This video tutorial shows you how to install and configure your network license manager on Windows, so it can manage licenses for previous & current versions of Maya, MotionBuilder and Mudbox:

Thanks for these Owen! I'm trying to switch from a standalone license to a network license on Mac OS 10.6.4

Unfortunately, when I go to /var/flexlm there is nothing in that folder, so I can't find the aw_client.dat file.

Can you tell me where to find aw_client.dat on Mac OS 10.6.4?

Thanks!
Michael
