After you set up the license server, the next step is to connect the client machines to the license server.
Setting ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE
OSX
Use a text editor to create a .flexlmrc file in your home folder. It should look something like this, except with the name or IP address of your license server:
ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE=@MY-LICSERVER-01
For example, if the license server is on the same machine as Arnold, you could have this .flexlmrc file in your home folder:
ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE=@localhost
Here's a .flexlmrc file that you can download. Use a text editor to edit it.
Linux
Set the ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE environment variable. For example, if your license server name is MY-LICSERVER-01, then set ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE to @MY-LICSERVER-01
Windows
Set the ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE environment variable. For example, if your license server name is MY-LICSERVER-01, then set ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE to @MY-LICSERVER-01
Setting ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE on the Command Line
set ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE=@MY-LICSERVER-01
Setting ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE as a System Environment Variable
In the Control Panel, search for environment variables and click Edit the system environment variables
