Phoenix 2.0 Maya BETA Error: Could not obtain simulation license.

Common Common :: Public

Hi,

I just installed the Phoenix Maya Beta and build the scene like in the video tutorial.
When I hit the sim button noting happens and in the script editor this msg shows up:

// PhoenixFD: Simulation output will be saved to ‘C:\Users\Rico\Documents\maya\projects\default\data\untitled_Phoenix2_frames\@transform1@PhoenixFDSimulator1’. //
currentTime 1 ;
// Error: Could not obtain simulation license. //
// Simulation stopped. //

How do I get a licence?

cheers

Rico

You will need to update your dongle with a beta license - the process is pretty much the same as for adding a V-Ray license - you just need to send us the .wbc file from your license server.

Okay

Sorry … I can’t find a .wbc file on my system.

More help would be very nice.

Thanks

Rico

sorry .. .found it in the vray4maya docs how to generate the .wbc file

I don’t suppose you could say which document/page this is, I’m trying to find it as well now.

Doh, just found it:

install_vrayformaya_windows.pdf
page 12

Apologies, for some reason I cannot edit my posts in this part of the forum/thread (?).

I’m trying to run the getstatus wizard but it’s not working for me at all.
I’m using google chrome, and it says that javascript is enabled.

i think you can export the wbc file via the WkConfig tool too. worked on my mac, pretty sure you can do it with a pc too.

Hey Bard,

I’m not seeing a WkConfig tool in my directories unfortunately.

Sorted now.
And if anyone else has a similar issue, definitely follow this:

try following:
- Start the license server and make sure that the black VL icon appears on the notification area of your Windows task bar.
- Disable completely your Windows firewall and any antivirus software that you might have
- On the same PC open the status web page of the license server: http://localhost:30304/getstatus
- if you still can’t open the license server status web page please send us an email to support@chaosgroup.com with regards to this threads and we will work from there

Hi guys,
I’m trying to make phxfd run, but I get // Error: Could not obtain simulation license. // I got my license, installed it , can see it on the server (its valid till end of June) but still simulation doesn’t run.. :frowning: Server is shared over internet but I’m running vray on same pc and it works.
Any ideas ? thanks,
Jakub
