MatchMover 2012 OS X A valid license could not be obtained

Just got the free student version of Maya 2012 which comes with MatchMover 2012! Yay.


Maya is working fine, but MatchMover comes up with:



A valid license could not be obtained by the network license manager - error -1.359.2 (????)
License was not obtained - tried maya 2012 (657D1 2012.0.0.f), error 20
License method : environment variable Maya_License_method=’network’
Product choice : environment variable Maya_License=’unlimited’
License file override : environment variable Maya_alt_en is not set
This is the maya 2012 license.env
MAYA_LICENSE=Unlimited
MAYA_LICENSE_METHOD=Standalone
This is the adlminfo from matchmover…
type=Standalone
serial=xxxxxxxxxxxxx
prodkey=657D1
configuration=Unlimited

Just had a quick search and found this forum. Just a quicky really. Just have to copy the license.env from:
/Applications/Autodesk/Maya 2012/Maya.app/Contents/license.env
to:
/Applications/Autodesk/MatchMover2012/MatchMover2012.app/Contents/license.env

Works a charm. Must just be a bug with the Mac OS X version

    1. I think first you have to make sure the student version of Maya is working fine. If so, the license file Maya uses can be copied to MatchMover. To get to the file just right click on Maya application in the Application folder and select "show package contents". This opens a new window. Inside the contents folder you'll find license.env. Copy this file.

      Next go to Matchmover in the Applications folder. Right click and select "show package contents". open the Contents folder and paste the file in here.
