Troubleshooting - Licensing on Vista

Vista and the License Manager

Most licensing problems on Vista are because the License Manager does not have Administrator privileges.

For SLP Licensing (Foundation and Student/Teacher), the License Manager generates a different request code depending on whether or not is had Administrator privileges.

To always run the License Manager as an Administrator

1. Click Start > All Programs > Softimage Products.
2. Right-click License Manager and click Properties.
3. Click the Compatibility tab.
4. Under Privilege Level, select the Run the program as an administrator check box.
5. Click OK.

Now when you run the License Manager, you will be able to start and stop the license server.
