Package Maya & Mudbox 2024 license Sever

[tdenton]

Afternoon All.

Hoping someone can help have been trying to package Maya & Mudbox 2024 for serveral weeks and facing issues I think with the license demon not starting before its get licensed.

I get below error from Jamf log

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

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

My scripting ablity isnt up to much, I think I just need a few lines in my current script to ensure the license demon is running before the license process starts. Can anyone help?

Have tried a few scripts on here but keep facing the same issue.

Many Thanks

Tom

Hi Tom, it sounds like you're encountering a common issue with the Autodesk licensing service. To ensure the license daemon starts correctly before the licensing process, you might want to add a function at the beginning of your script that checks if the licensing service is running and starts it if it's not. Here's a simple addition you could consider:

bash

# Check if licensing service is running checkLicensingService() { if ! pgrep -x "AdskLicensingService" > /dev/null; then echo "Starting Autodesk Licensing Service..." open /Library/Application\ Support/Autodesk/AdskLicensingService/AdskLicensingService.app sleep 5 # Give it time to start fi } # Call the function before running installers checkLicensingService

This function checks if the service is running, and if not, it attempts to start it. Make sure to include this check before the runInstaller call in your script. Hope this helps, and good luck with your packaging!

Hi @tdentondinasour museum
Hope! this solution is helpful for you. If you face any problem tell me.

Thanks @alexacas 
Wont function not be called after runInstaller as it wont be on the machine before that point
