Linux Workstation installation of Autodesk Moldflow Insight

Pre-requisites

If you have a Network license, you must install the Autodesk Licensing Service, either on your local machine or on a remote machine on your network. This service can be installed with the Autodesk Moldflow Insight License Configuration package

If you have a Named User license, you don't require a license server and can install using either Case 3 or Case 5.

Installation can be done through an interactive install or in batch mode. Interactive install is the easiest, but requires user interaction. Batch mode is useful for automation.

Case 1: Interactive install of Moldflow Insight on the same machine as Autodesk Licensing Service

Start the installation:

sudo sh install-workstation-autodesk-moldflow-insight-20XX.X.X-glibc2.17.sh

The install script will detect the hostname and port of the Autodesk Licensing Service running on this machine.

Case 2: Interactive install of Moldflow Insight on a different machine as Autodesk Licensing Service

First, determine the IP Address/Hostname which the Autodesk Licensing Service is running on.

Start the installation:

sudo sh install-workstation-autodesk-moldflow-insight-20XX.X.X-glibc2.17.sh

You will be prompted to enter the host & port of the Autodesk Licensing Service after confirming that you want to use the Licensing Service:

Are you using an Autodesk Licensing Service on your network? (y/n): //press Y/y
Where is the Autodesk Licensing Service?
Hint: On the machine which has the Autodesk Licensing Service installed look for the property
      'Addr' in /var/opt/Autodesk/AdskLicensingService/AdskLicensingService.data

Please provide the hostname and port [0.0.0.0:0]
Enter Hostname or IP address: // e.g., myRemoteMachine.domain.com
Enter Port Number: // e.g., 55555

Autodesk Licensing Service Address: myRemoteMachine.domain.com:55555

Case 3: Interactive install of Moldflow Insight without Autodesk Licensing Service

Start the installation:

sudo sh install-workstation-autodesk-moldflow-insight-20XX.X.X-glibc2.17.sh

You will be asked if you are using the Autodesk Licensing Service:

Are you using an Autodesk Licensing Service on your network? (y/n): //press N/n

This setup can be used on machines authorized by the Named User license.

Case 4: Batch install of Moldflow Insight (on either same or different machine as Autodesk Licensing Service)

Start the installation:

sudo sh install-workstation-autodesk-moldflow-insight-20XX.X.X-glibc2.17.sh -- ADSK_SERVICE_ADDRESS=<hostname/IP>:<port>

For example, if the hostname is 10.44.55.221 and the port is 22000 then the command will be:

sudo sh install-workstation-autodesk-moldflow-insight-20XX.X.X-glibc2.17.sh -- ADSK_SERVICE_ADDRESS=10.44.55.221:22000

Case 5: Batch install of Moldflow Insight without Autodesk Licensing Service

Start the installation:

sudo sh install-workstation-autodesk-moldflow-insight-20XX.X.X-glibc2.17.sh -- --batch

This setup can be used on machines authorized by the Named User license.
