How to add your knowledge

License the workstation with a local or single remote license server

No headers

Create license files

For a redundant network license server configuration, you must create the license files for the workstation and license server manually. See Create a license file for a remote license server and Configure the workstation to use a set of redundant license servers.
To license the workstation with a local license or a single remote license server, use the license wizard:
1. Start the application. If no license file is found, the License Wizard opens.
2. Select “Yes, install the license code” and click Next.
3. In the License Installation dialog, do one of the following and click next:
  - If the license server is on the same machine as your Creative Finishing application, select Local Network License.
  - If the license server is on another machine, select Remote Network License.
4. Open the license file you received from Autodesk in a text editor or display its contents in the shell.
5. In the Local Network License Installation dialog, select the license text and copy and paste the text into the field. The text should resemble the following:
```
SERVER servername DLHOST03=2BB094B4722BDBECFA218BD3A6BB8F83 
VENDOR discreet_l 
USE_SERVER 
PACKAGE smokeadvanced_x86_64_r discreet_l \
```
  Ensure the servername (in the first row) is replaced with the actual name of the computer your license server is on.
6. Click Install.
7. Start the license server.

The license wizard creates the following license files:

Workstation license: /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/DL_licenseNetwork.dat
For a local license server, it creates the license server license: /usr/discreet/licserv/licenses/DL_license.dat.
For a remote license server, you must create the license file for the license server manually. See Create a license file for a remote license server.
