In this case, the customer was able to run the main application (Softimage), but MatchMover reported a fatal license problem:

License was not obtained
Tried ADLM 2011 (590D1 21012.0.0.F), error 43

License method:
environment variable MAYA_LICENSE_METHOD='network'

Product choice:
environment variable MAYA_LICENSE='adlm-590d1-2012.0.0f'

License method:
environment variable MAYA_ALT_EN is not set

In similar 3ds Max-related cases, the error looked like this:

License was not obtained
Tried ADLM 2011 (128D1 21012.0.0.F), error 43

License method:
environment variable MAYA_LICENSE_METHOD='standalone'

Product choice:
environment variable MAYA_LICENSE='adlm-128d1-2012.0.0f'

License method:
environment variable MAYA_ALT_EN is not set

In these kinds of cases, the first thing to try is setting the ADSK_MATCHMOVER_LICENSE environment variable. This environment variable can have the following values:

• SOFTIMAGE
• MAYA
• 3DSMAX
• 3DSMAXDESIGN

If that doesn’t work, then you’ll need to do some more troubleshooting.

If you create a c:\flexlm folder, MatchMover will create the log files adlm.log and MatchMoverLicense.log in the c:\flexlm folder.

adlm.log is the more useful of the two, and will contain log entries like this:

17200	2011/06/22	16:50:37	Reason=Fatal error

17200	2011/06/22	16:50:37	AdlmIntError=25 [The product key was not found]

If you see the errors [The product key was not found] and [The root information in Product Information Table XML file is missing], then see this post for more information on fixing the problem.

MatchMoverLicense.log typically is just pretty much the same text that you saw in the popup message dialog boxes:

A note about those MAYA env vars. You cannot override them by setting them before you start MatchMover. MatchMover appears to set them itself. For example, with ADSK_MATCHMOVER_LICENSE=3DSMAX, MAYA_LICENSE_METHOD comes from the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\3dsMax\14.0\MAX-1:409\ADLM\Type, where Type=2 is Standalone and Type=1 is Network.

Finally, to get more diagnotics (like what license MatchMover is actually trying to use), open a Command Prompt and run these commands:

cd C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MatchMover2012
set FLEXLM_DIAGNOSTICS=3
MatchMover.exe

You’ll get some pop-up dialog boxes with messages like this:
