I actually moved my machine to a new location and network, but thought since it should hook up with a specific license server name it shouldn't matter. So I don't need a new license for 6?

Did anybody by any chance restarted the network hub?

Did you restart the license server after reinstalling the new license?

How's your setenv.bat file?

 

Coincidently, I had the same problem today.

We changed our network hub and although I could ping the license server,

XSI snaps back with the same message. I just waited for 30 minutes or so (enjoying music :)

and it just started running no problem.

I eventually got around to installing XSI 6.01 (didn't want to update during project) and now XSI will not run, saying "Error: there is no interactive license available to run XSI". Now I remember several had similar problems back when most people installed 6, so I figure i might get a quicker response from the list than from support. Also I read quite a few of the posts and seem to recall that the solution was often trivial, which is also why I ask here. And yes I installed the new SPM standalone on my license server, it found my keyfile and it is up and running, and my production machine can ping the license server. Do I need a new keyfile for 6 or is it something else (Softimage support in DK is sparse)? Anybody have a good suggestion or should I just sit and wait for support?

 

Thanks!
