Re: Change License from Standalone to Network?
Maybe Softimage cannot connect to the license server. You could check %TEMP%\SoftimageLicense.log Or set FLEXLM_DIAGNOSTICS=3 and then start xsi On Wed, Aug 6, 2014 at 7:07 PM, Byron Nash byronn...@gmail.com wrote: Yep, changed all the values in setenv.bat and license.env.

RE: Change License from Standalone to Network?
That is the regular procedure and applies to all versions of Softimage except 2015. 2015 uses a different licensing model which mirrors the subscription updates used by other Autodesk products. That’s why you can no longer have Softimage 2015 and 2015 SP1 (when it becomes available) installed side by side on your computer.

You are saying that when Softimage 2015 SP1 comes out, and I want to start a new project on it but also have another project already running on 2015, I have to uninstall 2015 entirely on all render machines to install 2015 SP1 and force all running projects to move to the new version? Is that right?

Yes. Instead of a dedicated installation like all past versions, the service packs from now on will patch your existing installation (applies to 2015 only).
