Licensing
Legal use of Beast involves the following considerations:
- In order to successfully integrate the Beast API into your project, use the Beast tools, or run the Beast examples, you must have a valid license key. For details on obtaining and using this license key, see below.
- Your organization must enter into a binding license agreement with Autodesk, Inc.. This license agreement, typically agreed upon at the time of purchase, describes
the terms of your specific license in detail; if it conflicts with any information
in this chapter, your license agreement takes precedence.
This license agreement typically outlines certain attributions that you must provide in the credits and marketing material for your game, such as Autodesk logos, copyrights, and trademark information. If you have any questions, please contact your sales representative.
Getting the Beast license
You should have received a license key when you set up your Beast evaluation or purchased the product. A Gameware license key is a simple text string token. If you have not received a license key, or if you need to obtain a new license key for another project, e-mail your request to gameware@autodesk.com.
Setting up the Beast license
The Beast SDK samples, Maya plug-in, and UDK integration all read the license key from the BEAST_LICENSE environment variable. To enable your license, create a new environment variable, BEAST_LICENSE, with your license key as its value.
When writing your own integration, you must include the license key as an argument in ILBCreateBeastManager(). For more details see Setting Up Your Project.
