Can you tell me what OS and Max version these render nodes are running? We modified the licensing to better handle the permission changes made to the registry in Vista and Win 7, so I think that might be the culprit. Perhaps I broke XP in the process.
Try this registry key out. You’ll need to edit the section YOUR LICENSE FILE HERE, and change it to the name or IP of your license server. Remeber to keep the @ symbol though! Also, to optimize our chances of doing this right, make sure to log in as the user that the render node typically works under.

Well, that’s what MSDN suggested to avoid permission issues on Vista & 7. Only admins can write to the HKLM tree, and I didn’t have a satisfying way to elevate privileges.
That’s a good idea, and an oversight on my part. I thought that FLEXlm would be doing that themselves, but I was all kinds of wrong.
