I updated all of our machines at our university lab to Maya 2018.6/Arnold 6 and Maya 2020/Arnold 6. Today, I figured it was time to get Arnold 6 network rendering going (we were on Arnold 5 until today for network rendering) and (after a lot of troubleshooting since we assumed network problems) we figured out that Arnold 6 ist requesting Arnold_2020 network keys while our server only deploys Arnold_2018 licenses. Since there is currently no 2020 "School:Deploy with network server" version available for download on the Autodesk website of arnold standalone I can only generate 2018 license files through my Autodesk account. I know, you usually cannot comment on upcoming releases, however since there is no info to be found online about this: Is it a matter of a few weeks until Arnold 2020 is available for schools or should we better downgrade to Arnold 5 again for the time being? It's quite frustrating to seldomly have any clear info on these kind of licensing/release issues (since arnold 6 is out for a while now, and Maya 2020 EDU is available already) and our students are waiting to test out new features and to finish their projects. Don't get me wrong – as a school we are really thankful for Autodesk software being so easily accessible to us and our students. However, it's quite frustrating when working with Maya/Arnold professionally and then always hitting unexpected issues (while halfway through upgrading already…) when trying to teach the very software we use in a commercial environment everyday to new students in the education environment. Any pointers on when we might expect Arnold 2020 EDU would be greatly appreciated!
Unfortunately, it seems there's often a delay before new versions show up on the Autodesk Education Portal (or, for that matter, in commercial customer accounts).
Arnold 6 was released, so if I knew anything more I would have no problem commenting on it.
I'll start asking around. The Arnold team doesn't handle the Autodesk Education Portal, so I have to find out who to ask first...
