This is why I am writing here since this is mainly for softimage users. I am starting a post-production company and I know that I will need a render farm badly! Think of a setup where I would almost always render full HD frames. Let's aim for a high end setup. So, please advice on the topics below: 1)I have been mainly using the default renderer in XSI but am thinking about using Mental Ray from now on. How would that affect my setup? 2)Processors at what speed ( configuration) would you recommend? 3)Any hardware you can recommend? ( I can not afford a BOXX, need a solution that is stable and proven but not as expensive) Thanks Serkan 2012-11-14T04:26:48+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/setup-and-licensing/license-for-softimage-foundation-6/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/setup-and-licensing/license-for-softimage-foundation-6/page-last/#When:09:23:05Z I own Softimage XSI 6 Foundation. I recently had to reset my laptop to factory settings due to a virus I had. I loaded Foundation 6 on my laptop and now I need a license to use it. Do I need a License Key to activate the software? Is it possible to get a new one? I have an old License Key from last year, will it work? Is it possible to activate the software with my old License Key? Since Foundation 6 is non supported legacy software what are my options? I want to be able to use the software. 2012-10-31T09:23:05+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/setup-and-licensing/softimage-2011-on-windows-2008-server/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/setup-and-licensing/softimage-2011-on-windows-2008-server/page-last/#When:01:34:10Z I wanted to know if I can install Softimage 2011 on render nodes with windows 2008 server.

I have 7.5 installed on my home PC now, along with the license server and after some fiddling about opening ports my laptop can see the license server and run Softimage on my laptop....so long as it's sitting on my desk sharing the wireless network. What do I do now? How do I go about 'borrowing' the license to allow me to take my laptop away? I've tried to read the license documentaion pdf, but I can't make head nor tail of it - I can't find a 'borrow license' option in Softimage itself; do I need LMTools on my Laptop too? Can someone give me the 'for dummies' version please? 2012-01-06T12:00:46+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/setup-and-licensing/does-xsibatch-limit-number-of-licenses-by-render-engine-being-used/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/setup-and-licensing/does-xsibatch-limit-number-of-licenses-by-render-engine-being-used/page-last/#When:06:05:22Z I'm a Vray beta tester, and I'm about to request more licenses for network rendering. Basically, xsibatch renders with whatever renderer is selcted in the scene file(in this case, Vray). I have 5 licenses for network rendering, but 7 machines on my farm(I also use Modo, which is unlimited). Does xsibatch use up my licenses based on Mental Ray being used as the chosen render engine? I'm asking if my 5 license limit will allow Vray rendering over that number. 2011-12-09T06:05:22+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/setup-and-licensing/softimage-6x-fundation/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/setup-and-licensing/softimage-6x-fundation/page-last/#When:13:31:21Z Hello. Could I know if it's possible to refresh my license for Softimage 6.x Fundation ? I sold out my old computer with windows xp. I want to install Softimage 6.x Fundation on my new computer with Windows 7. For last 2 years I worked hard and I forget about transfer licenses from Avid to Autodesk. Can you help me ?

All notifications and the splash screen end up between monitor one and two (I have 4 monitors). The second thing that happens is that all the buttons/shelf that is at the top are missing and I can add no custom shelf/tabs. I've tried updating the drivers and picking GPU 1 of 2 for the open GL rendering (GPU 1 is driving monitor 1 and 2, GPU 2 is driving monitor 3 and 4). Doesn't seem to matter. I end up having to disable monitors 3 and 4 to get it to work properly. I tried setting everything back to default view but still no toolbars at the top. Anybody have any ideas? 2011-08-26T17:04:07+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/setup-and-licensing/urgent-softimage-2011-sp1-activation/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/setup-and-licensing/urgent-softimage-2011-sp1-activation/page-last/#When:21:13:26Z hello, I need to go back and install my older Softimage 2011 SP1 to run on the same license with my current 2012 license. However, once 2011 is installed I am getting license error. I can't activate the license via my AD account since it keep saying that serial number is not valid. This is very urgent so please answer me ASAP. Thanks, Jr. EDIT: I am no longer on Subscription program, hopefully this is not the case I can't use my older Softimage packages 2011-08-09T21:13:26+02:00
