I could not get the Network Simulations to work using a License server.
1. We installed the SL to the render node
2. We edited the DCPFLICS.ini file (On the render Node) to point the node at the license server
3. We copied the DCPFLICS folder from one of the nodes to the License server (as directed)
4. Ensured DCPFLICS runs as a service and was running on both the Node and the license server.
When submitting a simulation job via Back burner, the node would indicate there was not a valid SL on the (Render Node) in the BB server window (on the node and on the manager) and the job would fail.
What we DID get to work:
We ran Max 2010 in evaluation mode on the node(s) we wanted to use for network simulations (after installing the SL on the nodes).
Once it (Max 2010) was open we clicked on the FumeFX and we able to authorize via Turbo Squid using our serial numbers
Now we can submit simulations to the specific nodes AND they still Network Render using MR.
My concern is what happens if someone has already opened Max on a Render Node and it is past the 30 day trial period, how do they activate it?
There has to be a better way..

We make things crash and burn........
