flexlm autodesk/foundry conflict
adrian wyer
out license server blew up, got a new machines set up and ready to go.... but noticed some issues
autodesk have switched to the latest build of flexLM 11.12
the foundry are using an older version
on the old machine, both foundry and autodesk lics were served by the same flexlm and the same lmutil managed them as two services
all good
but now the foundry one is a different flex folder/executable
the problem is they both default to port 27000, and you get a conflict meaning no licenses can be pulled by autodesk products
the solution posted here works; (basically adding a different port to the foundry lic)
until the machine reboots, at which point i have to start/stop/reread until i stumble on the correct configuration
not ideal!
would anyone from autodesk care to comment on this?

We use RLM for Nuke, Mootzoid tools and Exocortex tools here - works smooth with Flexlm for Soft.

As far as I know, Nuke only supports FLEXLm unless purchased as part Creation Collective (Suite).

we had about the same issue.
changing nukes license port did the trick.
i added the port in the license file like this:
SERVER servername 000000000000 27001
on the client side i did not need to change anything.
hope that helps
