There are several ways you can do it.

• You can use Maya.env to set the solidangle_LICENSE environment variable.

  In your Maya.env file, add this line:

  solidangle_LICENSE=XXXX@SERVER
  

  where XXXX is the port number, and SERVER is the name or IP address of the computer.

  Maya.env is located in your user Library. For example: /Users/steve/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/2014.

  By default, the Library folder is a hidden folder, so you may need to un-hide the Library folder.

• You can set solidangle_LICENSE as a system environment variable.
  1. Log in with an Administrator account and run this command to open a text editor.

     sudo nano /etc/launchd.conf
     

  2. Add this line to /etc/launchd.conf:

     setenv solidangle_LICENSE XXXX@SERVER
     

  3. Save the file and exit.
  4. Restart the Mac.

If you don’t want to restart your Mac just yet, you can try setting the environment variable like this (it will last until you restart your machine):

launchctl setenv solidangle_LICENSE XXXX@SERVER
