While in the middle of working, I'll get a crash -- then when I try to restart Softimage 2014 I get the error message "there is no interactive license available to run Softimage." -- then I have to open LMTools and restart the service. Does this happen to anyone else? I'm sorry that I forg...

Steve, while you're dispensing all of your licensing knowledge --- do you know any common causes for a license server to need to be restarted frequently? At least once or twice a day. Especially after the computer has been asleep. Hi Confirm (in LMTOOLS > Config Services) that Start Server at Power...

I spent some time today to finally educate myself about states. Thanks.

Can I get a little help with an effect I'm trying to achieve? I have a deforming object that needs to be covered with particles, then have a null wipe them away into a turbulent ink effect. I know how to make an ICE tree that generates a particle at every point, and I use "stick to location&quo...

Stephen, are you still at Autodesk? I thought you moved to SolidAngle. That's right, I am at Solid Angle now (I was part of the 7% workforce reduction at Autodesk last August). Some old habits (like answering Softimage licensing questions) die hard. When you look at Autodesk letting go people like ...

ahhh....that's probably it. I just got a new license file for my new hardware about a week ago(before installing 2014). Can you tell me exactly what I should do to update the 2013 flex license to a 2014? Thanks for the help Mr Blair. After you get the new license file, you have to go into LMTOOLS a...

I got the serial number to go in after uninstalling and reinstalling, but when I try to run 2014, it says "no interactive license to run Softimage". BUT, 2013 will run fine. I'm going to assume you have a network license. Did you download your 2014 license? ??[/quote] ahhh....that's proba...

Of course, my new serial number didn't work. I put in a support ticket, but while I'm waiting...do any of you think its because I tried to activate the 2014 demo? It's the same thing that's in my download section, right? I'm wondering if maybe the serial number in my download page is based off the ...

never mind...I forgot that the serial number is on my subscription page for downloads.

Quick question...I downloaded and installed the 2014 trial. How can I activate that? I have no email from Autodesk with a new serial number for 2014.

Do I have to ask for it or will they send it automatically? My subscription is active until after this month.

Why is the 2014 demo available, but I don't see 2014 in my subscription center downloads?

When using it, it'll be very apparent they were inspired by Vray. It's very Vray-ish, except faster.

I keep getting this problem randomly when my computer wakes up from sleep mode. There is no interactive network license available to run Softimage, would you like to run in Standalone mode?

I have to restart to fix the problem. What causes this annoying issue?
