Arnold License Manager Failed to register Arnold product Linux Mint 20

[morecoffeeman]

I am attempting to register a single user license with the Arnold License Manager on Linux Mint 20.

At first I could not install the license manager via Houdini as it would stop at 50% with an Installer Error. I believe this is due to the version of openssl which has been asked on here, although not answered.

I then downloaded the license manager and converted to deb (with Alien) and installed the following 3 files:

adlmapps24-24.0.7-0.x86_64.rpm

adskflexnetclient-11.16.0-0.x86_64.rpm

adsklicensinginstaller/adsklicensing11.1.0.5629-0-0.x86_64.rpm

The license manager now opens within Houdini but I am unable to register a license.

Is there another way of doing so?

The Arnold License Manager log (Help > About > Show Log) will show you the AdskLicensingInstHelper command that failed. That command can be run in a terminal

Sorry for my late reply.

The following is the log of what happens and fails after requesting my password:

I am not sure what to do as it appears that I am missing or it is not creating the file:

AdskLicensingService.data

[Stephen.Blair]

AdskLicensingInstHelper is supposed to create those files if they do not already exist

[Stephen.Blair]

Actually, it's the install that should create the .data file.

The .data and .sds are supposed to be portable eg not machine-specific.
Here's mine from a CentOS 7 VM:

AdskLicensingService.data.txt

AdskLicensingService.sds.txt

Thank you for the replies and the files but it is still not working.

Here is the latest log:

I think I will have to change Linux distro in order to use Arnold with a license.

Thanks for all your help.

I have exactly the same problem on Windows 10. Were you able to fix it?
