If you want to run the mental ray standalone rendering software, or the Softimage and Softimage Advanced software on a Linux 32-bit or 64-bit operating system, you must use the SPM licensing scheme.
The Softimage Installation Guide provides quick starts for the following workflows:
• Installing, registering, and activating Softimage using an Autodesk stand-alone license. A single serial number activates Softimage on a single Windows workstation.
• Installing, registering, and activating Softimage using an Autodesk multi-seat stand-alone license. A single serial number activates Softimage on several Windows workstations.
• Installing and running a network licensed version of Softimage on a Windows workstation. This process installs Softimage and then prompts you to enter the name of the Autodesk network license server(s) from where you will obtain your activated license to run Softimage.
• Installing and configuring the mental ray standalone rendering software. This process installs mental ray and then prompts you to enter the name of the SPM license server(s) from where you will obtain your activated license to run the rendering software.
• Client Install for Windows.
• Site Deployment for Windows.
