[geeks] Maya news

[Shawn Wallbridge]

FlexLM is a license server. It doesn't have to run on the machine USING
Maya. We have a separate machine that we run the license servers on (Maya,
Max, Entropy, Houdini, etc). What we do is use SSH and forward a port from
home to our license server. It works great.

I can't wait to get my Indigo2 (and my O2) up and running, so I can play
with Maya, Entropy, etc under Irix.

What would happen if something was tried with a floating license?  It is
only
a few hundred more, I think.
