Installing Maya 7 into another drive?
Well to make a long story short, I formatted my drive (on which Maya was working great) and when i did this for some reason my computer made my friggin card reader my c: drive and my main HD F:
Well I didnt feel like formatting again to change it (and cant fidn any info on if/how to change it within windows without jacking up everything installed) and now I installed Maya but it keeps looking in the c:\flexlm for the lic file, I put it on my card that happens to be C and it worked fine but I dont want to be jacking the card out of my phone everytime I want to do some work. I tried using the Install License thing and it is being moronic... I keep pointing it to the file like 300 times and everytime is says it failed to read it etc so I'm stumped.. Nothing I seem to do with the install lic. tool works and I want to know if anyone could help me get Maya working again.... Thanks in advance and sorry for the rambling (tired lol) |
Bad instal
Hello,
I think you have instaled Win on diferent partititon.Try to uninstal everythink before you instal win , and format you're root because programs are having some values in the registry and when you reinstaled win you blow them up.Make a copy of FlexLM folder, and it HAVE to be placed on C:\.I now that you want to keep all the setting but sometimes you have to remake all of them, that's the way to learn it better.If the partition is still F:\ after that, try changing the letters from system manager->drive manager |
there is only one partition on my hard drive, it got labeled F after I formatted a few days ago.
I would prefer to find a solution so I dont have to reformat my system again. And as for renaming the drive in drive manager that wont allow me to change the drive letter.. I already looked into that. |
you need to create a new partition called C: yes?
here not sure this helps i dont know i may be barking up the wrong tree.... http://www.soft32.com/download_151.html |
is it set in stone that this folder and file HAVE to be on the a drive labeled "c:"??
I think its pretty stupid if you cant install this program on any other drive label.... |
I did some more searching around and found this post so I figured I would repost it here to help anyone else, this method worked for me but Maya is still installed on F drive but the network C: has the flexlm folder with lic files in it worked like a charm.

Thank you, Fingersniffer. Finding an answer to this was the whole reason I joined this forum.
