Applying a license

[pizzim-code]

What are the steps to apply a license to Maya when running in this container?

[mottosso]

The container is just like any Linux machine, you can follow any instructions for installing Maya and licencing with it. The important bit being that you save the container after you've activated it, such that you don't have to redo it. You can also use floating licencing with it, like if you have something already setup on your premises and connect the Maya running in your container to it like any workstation.

Sorry, I should have been more descriptive. When I was looking through Maya's docs and it references AdskLicensingInstHelper.
I could not find that executable in the container.

Aha, yes they might not have been installed. You can see here how and what is installed.

Note the Maya*.rpm , which only includes the bare minimum.

You can either edit the Dockerfile and build it on your end, with those licencing files present, or you can make a new Dockerfile that extends this one, similar to how this image extends another more basic image.
