Packaging Maya 2022

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone has had success in packaging Maya 2022 with a non-network server license key, which our institution is able to put on 1200 machines. I tried referencing this post, but havent been able to successfully deploy the program with my modifications. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Also looking for some info on this too

Have you been successful in getting Maya 2022 to deploy and install? I'm using their documentation to build a silent installer, but it fails every time. I'm putting the Install Maya 2022.app in /tmp, and the script successfully launches it silent, but it errors out at install. I've tried it with users logged in, and no one logged in, and it fails every time.

Someone at Autodesk mistyped the command in their silent install kb (https://knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/ENU/Autodesk-Installation-Basic-ODIS/files/ODIS-silent-install-htm.html) and typed --q rather than a single - before the q. See below for more on that. My team has already communicated this error to Autodesk.

Please note: The procedure below has been tested and confirmed to work successfully on supported macOS versions across, for the sake of propriety, enough systems at scale for enterprise level confidence.

Place the Install Maya 2022.app in the /tmp directory.
Drag and drop into Composer.
Within Composer, navigate to Install Maya 2022.app and modify the Owner and Group to "root" and "wheel" and "Apply Owner and Group to Install Maya 2022.app and Enclosed Items." (Please don't waste time posting comments regarding this step. Remember... my deployment works.)
Add the following line into a postinstall script for your Source in Composer:

#!/bin/sh

## postinstall



sudo /private/tmp/Install\\ Maya\\ 2022.app/Contents/Helper/Setup.app/Contents/MacOS/Setup -q

Save and Build as PKG...and tah-freaking-dah you have a working silent installer for Maya 2022.

There are caveats to this method, if you are using a legacy network license, etc., etc. This, however, is the quickest path from point A to point B given the use case mentioned above. For those that may want to poke holes, please recall that our deployment works. Have a magical day!

Hello! I just edited my old Maya 2020 script from here: https://community.jamf.com/t5/jamf-pro/packaging-maya-2020/td-p/229754

Below is the updated code for Maya 2022. It has an option to input your server if you do have a network license. This script also requires you to put Install Maya 2022.app in the /tmp/ folder. You will need to package that move. I used composer.

Thanks! This was painless!

Hi all. I am looking for a script to install Maya & Mudbox 2022 which has a network license. I have tried to modify your script @pclyttle (thanks for supplying), however I am not entirely sure which line to include a serial-key for both Maya and Mudbox.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Lakem. These instructions are for a network license. Use them if you have a server set up to license your computers instead of a standalone serial #.

Hi @ekuehn. Thanks for the reply. This is what I had thought going by the detail in the script, however, after installation and then opening Maya, it still asks for a serial number or to select other license options.

I will check the script and installation again and see what I can figure out.

Thanks

Double-check that it's pointing to the correct server address and the server is setup properly/up-to-date

Hi @pclyttle. Thanks for the reply. Server address is correct and appears to be ok.

One thing I have noticed is adlmframework18.pkg (Install Maya 2022.app/Contents/Helper/Packages/Licensing/adlmframework18.pkg) is missing from my downloaded Install Maya 2022.dmg.

Now when I run the script, I get

connecting to Service failed: reading configuration file /Library/Application Support/Autodesk/AdskLicensingService/AdskLicensingService.data failed: open /Library/Application Support/Autodesk/AdskLicensingService/AdskLicensingService.data: no such file or directory

And this is correct, the file does not exist.

And this is correct, the file does not exist.

Okay, take it out. It was in my version.

Ok, good news. I now have got a bit further and Maya is now launching (thank you). However, I need to be able to install and license both Maya 2022 and Mudbox 2022 on our Macs, which of course both have different product keys (657N1 and 498N1) and the below line will only cater for one or the other.

/Library/Application\\ Support/Autodesk/AdskLicensing/Current/helper/AdskLicensingInstHelper change --pk "${pKey}" --pv "${year}.0.0.F" --lm NETWORK --ls "${networkServer}"

I am now looking for a way to be able to have both apps installed and be happy. I will let you know what I find.

Thanks for this, really helpful indeed. I customised it slightly for register rather than change the license and also added my distribution server element to it

/Library/Application\\ Support/Autodesk/AdskLicensing/Current/helper/AdskLicensingInstHelper register --pk "${pKey}" --pv "${year}.0.0.F" --lt "${lic_server_type}" --lt DISTRIBUTED --lm NETWORK --ls "${networkServer}" --sn 572-13572357 --el UK --cf /Applications/Autodesk/maya2022/adlmreg/MayaConfig.pit --nu

/Library/Application\\ Support/Autodesk/AdskLicensing/Current/helper/AdskLicensingInstHelper change --pk "${pKey}" --pv "${year}.0.0.F" --lm NETWORK --ls "${networkServer}"

I am now looking for a way to be able to have both apps installed and be happy. I will let you know what I find.

For those interested, I use the below to install and license both Maya and Mudbox 2022. It may not be the most tidy but it appears to work for me now. Thanks again all, for the help.

Hi all,

First time here and I'm new to scripting. I was inspired by the scripts mentioned in this post to do my own script. I took the "Setup" binary approach to carry out a silent install. I found it a tad reliable versus pkg installers. I also wanted to encompass the idea of installing other Autodesk products within a single script. I have tested Maya 2022, Mudbox 2022 and AutoCAD 2022. Stuck on getting Maya 2018 to activate. Well, here's my script and apologies if it doesn't work for you.

#!/bin/bash

#v1: 05/10/2021 - Vi

# pKeys found here: https://www.autodesk.com/support/download-install/individuals/product-key/look-up-product-keys

# Product keys

# Maya 2022: 657N1

# Maya 2018: 657J1

# Mudbox 2022: 498N1

# AutoCAD 2022: 777N1

# The installation is reliant on the setup binary. The binary command varies across Autodesk products.

# For example, Mudox 2022 and Maya 2022 uses the --noui switch, and Maya 2022 and AutoCAD uses the -q switch

# for triggering silent install. The path of the binary also varies.

# Tested on Maya 2022, Mudbox 2022 and AutoCAD 2022 - all good.

# Next work:

# Replace nested if statements. Can't keep adding new if statements for newer Autodesk versions.

# Helper binary path may change in future releases, use the find command.

Has anyone successfully deployed and licensed either Maya 2022 or Mudbox 2022 on an M1 mac? The installation seems to go through fine, but when either application is launched, Autodesk Licensing Manager crashes.

#Instructions for next time

#Import install disk image with munkiimport

#Change installer_type to copy_from_dmg

#Copy installer app to /tmp

#Modify values below as necessary (Usually: year and pKey)

Thank you!

Just a note for anyone else looking at this thread, newer Autodesk Products (2020 and above) have a bootstrap process via their Autodesk On-Demand Install Service (AdODIS).

AdODIS, is basically an installer framework that deals with pre, post and installation tasks, much like a package file oddly! While AdODIS seems overly complex and silly, It's done this way to be platform agnostic for their developers.

The 'Install' app bundle inside the DMGs usually have an additional 'Helper' folder in them, which you can browse though to a 'Setup' app bundle, the setup bundle is the AdODIS client.

Check out the parameters on the binary Setup.app/Contents/MacOS/Setup in terminal for some help with the silent install options

Details here for AutoCAD: https://www.autodesk.com/support/download-install/admins/create-deployments/create-deployments-for-autocad-for-mac

Note: Autodesk documented single dashes, instead of double dashes for AutoCAD😣, you need to check the provided Setup binary for the right format for the software you're installing.

With this info, your workflow should hopefully be something like this, using AutoCAD 2022 as an example:

Dump the DMG somewhere and mount it
Run as privileged user

/Volumes/Installer/Install Autodesk AutoCAD 2022 for Mac/Helper/Setup/Contents/MacOS/Setup --silent

Activate your license via the AdskLicensingInstHelper : https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Use-Installer-Helper.html

Note: if you run setup via sudo, your users ~/Library/Application Support/Autodesk folder might get messed up, delete / adjust permissions prior to running the app to avoid the error message about it being locked / non-writable

Obviously adjust accordingly for the software your installing (such as Maya), the process is the same, and you can script around this for maintainability.

My key take away however is avoid installing the package files directly as some previous examples have suggested, AdODIS does a lot of magic behind the scenes to make the software work.

Hope this helps someone 👍

So how do you integrate this into Jamf to deploy software out to labs? The first article seems to say to put the installer onto a network share, then run the script to install the software. How would we do this with Jamf and say a home user?

I am feeling very stupid at the moment. All of these scripts say to put the installer.app onto the computers in the tmp folder. When I am trying to put said app into Jamf Admin, I am getting a message stating that the only app I can put onto Jamf are Apple apps. How are you uploading the app to your Jamf DP? Are you keeping it in the DMG file?

The examples are 'installing' the installation files to the client, for future deletion, there's many ways really ...

https://docs.jamf.com/10.28.0/jamf-pro/administrator-guide/Package_Management.html might give you some help? Particularly the Package Upload Methods section

We're using an installer package (pkg) with a post install script, the package dumps the DMG in /tmp, and the post install script deals with the mount and the actual installation of AutoCAD/Maya via the AdODIS Setup command

The examples are 'installing' the installation files to the client, for future deletion, there's many ways really ...

https://docs.jamf.com/10.28.0/jamf-pro/administrator-guide/Package_Management.html might give you some help? Particularly the Package Upload Methods section

So, how are you creating the package, Composer? Post install script I am assuming is the script you have listed in the thread above.

The package management link doesn't tell me anything new...

Any chance you have an updated 2023 version of this?
