hello
how run maya 8.5 on 10.4.9?

Amazing!

Manual install worked for me.

Genius... Pure Genius.

Maya 8.5 UB freeze after I update from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9

Tugirl Delta update.. on tubgirl patched iso with sata patch

My system is AMD cpu

on 10.4.8 it works fine without any issue...

Update for you guys... the IONetworkingFamily.kext that I downloaded here allowed my wireless to be used without the en0 to en1 hack anymore. This then enabled me to be able to use Qmaster without getting an Aecore exception error. So double thanks.

Any updates on getting this to work with 10.4.9 IONetworkingFamily kext?

The 10.4.9 kext works better with my NIC.

Does anyone know what fix A.Woland made for the 10.4.8 fix?

any chance of it working on 10.4.9?

I installed the fix (actually, a lot of "warnings" and "errors" came out in the Terminal as someone else said in a previous post), reboot but Maya won't start.

I used the OPA, and it seems to be ok...(previously, before the fix, it did not show any address).

Now when I start Maya, it freezes and I have to reboot the system.

Any suggestions?

thanks

Any news on the Maya + 10.4.9 front?

Has anybody found a successful workaround?

Enjoy!

Has anybody checked the solution for maya 8.5 inthe previous mail?. I gave it a try and it doesen't works for me

It is for Maya 8.5 + 10.4.9 + 8.9.1

If you don't have this combination it may not work. But if you have 10.4.8 + 8.8.1 then you should be able to use the old patch.

Good Luck!

Thanks bradleyvance for your quick answer. I'll tray to update.

Hi!

I was trying to get qmaster,fcut,compressor and maya 8.5 to work.
I have a Dell laptop with broadcom ethernet 440x and dell wireless 1500.
I used networkinginterfaces.kext from 10.4.6 to get the ethernet to work and did the "switch trick" for the wireless.
If then i put back in networking.....plist en0, then qmaster,compressor and fcut work, but maya doesn,t.
so i made what its said near the end of this maya thread.
Then macos wasn´t able to boot, so i had to boot in safe mode, i repaired the premissions and maya worked, but fcut studio apps don´t, so i switch back to en0 and they worked but maya didn´t, but instead of launching the autodesk product program it gives me an error in the license or something like that and in the log it appears the infamous "aecore" but fcut apps are working and i don´t understand why.

did someone managed to get maya and fcut apps like qmaster,compressor and fcut pro to work?

thanks


Edit: what do you mean riktor? i don´t understand what´s the question

Did the 10.4.9 patch work is maya functional once again?

Hi all,

i'm on OSX 10.4.9 From UpHuck 1.3 on an AMD System (Universal Kernel 3 - ACPI Patch - Natit v0.2). And the Patch that Fix IONETWORKINGFAMILY used for the 10.4.8 OSX System works Perfectly on 10.4.9 for me. But i've got only one problem, Final Cut Pro 6/Qmaster/Compressor doesn't launch or for final cut, it starts and after 2 questions about my configuration it stops. I think it comes because of the changes on IONetworkingFamily.kext.

Anybody's got an idea ?

You are getting the aecore exeception error, have you changed your en0 to en1 to get any sort of network device working? You can try deleting your networkInterface.plist in /Library/Prefrences/SystemConfiguration/ and OS X will make another on reboot.

to Highspeed, there was no question it just solved my issues with my en0 to en1 hack and I was able to use both maya, FCP, and my wireless with no issues.

Thanks, it's solved the problem !

Just delete the networkinterface.plist and reboot !

riktor, please, can you describe exactly what you did since installation, what files you used (the plist, the kext, the patch, if you can post them would be great), etc...
i think i tried everything but still don´t get it to work at the same time.
thanks

I used the maya network family fix for maya and then after that I was able to change my en1 that I had previously set because my wireless would not work with out it. I set it back to en0 and maya and Qmaster/Compressor work fine.

Hi everyone!..

I got a terrible english, but I hope find some people who can help me... thank you in advance...!

= )

I got the same problem, my maya doesnt run in my DELL 640m/1405, C2D 1.8ghz, Intel GMA, Sigmatel 9200, InteProWireless(no drivers at today), and ethernet NIC Broadcom 440x (fI ound the patch!)... youll see:

Few days ago, I made the install of the 10.4.6, and Maya work with no problems, even the broadcom(I used a kext of IONetworkFamily of 10.4.6 from wiki osx86 project, to make my broadcom fully functional), but the sound doesnt work...

Then, later, got the uphuck 10.4.9 v1.3 (universal kernel 3), and the broadcom and sound work great (I used an HDA solution found in wikiosx86, and the IOnetworking patch mentioned earlier), but It fails to install maya because It doesnt detect my ethernet mac adress as valid... so I found the forum and the treath about all this.

I try to update the IOnetwork... with the files mentioned along the treaht here, but I think Im doing something wrong...

Can anyone help me, (patiente will be appreciated!!!) how made functional my broadcom 440x, maya 8.5, and sound togheter with uphuck 1.3, or some other solution???

( I try the files of this treath but im stuckl without to make maya work, and I dont want to go back to 10.4.6 because the sound doesnt work there)

Again, thank you for read my post!

Greetings!
Jerry.

Can anyone please post a very comprehensive, detailed tutorial on how to fix this Maya/FlexLM? There seems to be a solution that needs compiling of some sort another is to delete the .plist file or something. Post needed files as well if any. Thanks. We all need this to be accessible for beginners to experts.

I've got 10.4.10, fully updated (no kernel update, of course). applied the IONF patch a the registration of the license went OK but I get grey screen telling me to reboot in four languages when the Maya 8.5 starts. Any idea?

ahoi together,

on my rig with osx10.4.10 i tried to install maya 2008. i had the same probs with the missing MAC adress.
now, it seems to be solved. the process via maya-opa was sucessfully. i can use now the aw.dat file.

but when i try to launch the maya app it freezes. anybody know why?
i tried every networking family patch, even with the file on the "idisk"...... but no luck !!

somebody can help?

greetz ......

knobsi

ahoi together,

here a small update to my problem:

i took a fresh 10.4.8 jas install with the 8.8.1 kernel and installed the patched ionetworkfamily.kext.
after that i installed maya 2008 without any probs with the aw.dat file.
started maya and.... voilà..... started perfect !!

then i tried to update on 10.4.9 with this method.
update went fine and os x is running as expected.

but no luck with maya. it goes to a kernel panic during its try to start.
restart and replaced the ionetwokrfamily with the idisk file. restart. no luck. still kernel panic.

so, i guess, something needs to be changed during the update method above mentioned. but what?
maybe i can change the needed files after the updates? because i´running already 10.4.10 with 8.10.1

who has updated successfully to 10.4.10 with which kernel and update method and uses maya successfully?

would be great to get your help !!

greetz.... knobsi

Not Work

osx 10.4.10 with 8.10.1 kernel and Maya 2008 : ok !!!
more fast than the 8.5...

i have noticed ( i have integrated 10/100/1000 network and 1 wifi pci card) that i must put the wifi mac
adress inside AW.dat instead of the integrated NIC mac adress...

the patch doesnt work under leopard.....

sorry...it works perfectly!

How? If i use the patch as i used to do in Tiger, i got my network broken, so how did u manage to get it working?

Um, ya, how do you add the patch? I'm not a noob to mac's, but I am a noob to the whole patching/programming thing with this Flexlm stuff. If anyone is feeling really bored and wants something to do, could you post it here on how to patch Maya? I'm trying to install Maya 2008, it came with a awKeygen.exe(PC) I know) and a aw.dat file as well. It says it can install for mac and it did come in a dmg file. It installs and everything but I can't get past the licencing part. The instructions that came with the keygen are this:

1. First Create a directory on the c: drive (even if you install maya on different drive) called
FLEXLM
2. Copy the aw.dat and awkeygen.exe file to this directory.
3. Install Maya
4. Goto start-->all programs-->Autodesk-->common utilities-->FlexLM license utilities
5. Under system settings copy Ethernet address
6. Open the file (from the directory FLEXLM) aw.dat with Wordpad and replace the words "your host"
with the copied Ethernet address. Save and close wordpad
7. Using the run utility and type: awkeygen.exe aw.dat
8. Goto start-->all programs-->Autodesk-->Autodesk Maya 2008-->Licensing
select "I have a license that I need to install-->I would like to install license from a file"
9. Browse to the path of the file aw.dat
10. Click install
11. Restart computer

LINUX:
------
Start at Step 3.

Your license (default) dir is /var/flexlm
so copy the generated aw.dat (you did that on a windows machine in dos)
into that directory.

OSX:
---
Your license (default) dir is /var/flexlm
so copy the generated aw.dat (you did that on a windows machine in dos)
into that directory.


I try to folow it as best as i can. The instructions for mac, are kinda unclear to me. When I do go to check for an eithernet number with the Maya program it does come up with a number for me to use and I click copy and then try to put it in the aw.dat file using textedit, then I try to pick the file for the licence, but no dice for me:P. I have read over a lot of the forum and looked at the pictures posted and read most everything, but I can't piece it together, parts of it are giberish to me. I'm running an iMac G5 so I figure its powerful enough as well. Anyways, if anyones got the time to explain I would be greatly thankful.

to Ravez...
just run it from a terminal with sudo command

done it with sudo and i had no chance to create flelm dir under var, done it logging in as root and i could create the folder, but still...broken network. Tomorrow i'll retry all of this on tiger and see if with same steps i can get it working there, cause it was working when i had tiger.. so if it doesn't work this time probably i made a mistake somewhere

ok, the IONetworkingFamily.kext broke my network on Tiger as well. So there's something missing somewhere...i'm going nuts...

ok, so i patched my Leopard and Maya works great but now i don't have sound o.O ... everything looks the same in system profiler but in SYSTEM PREFERENCES it show's that there's no sound device o.O ... and before applying patch everything worked fine ... any soultion ?

I have a Gigabyte GA-946-S3 with Realtek 8111.

in Finder
-->/System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext --> (RightMouseButton) Show Package Contents
--> /Contents/PlugIns
--> I need AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext - all another folder --> (RightMouseButton) Move to Trash

Reboot System.

Maya 2008 is work!!!!!!

I am Running Leopard 10.5.1 on AMD64, And the solution on Page 5 :

Problem with FlexLM "primary" interface solved =) This Script Fix for IONetworkingFamily.kext for 10.4.8.

Worked Perfectly for me. Thanks guys for all the work!!! Maya 2008 up and running.

It's 5:12 AM and I finally got mine working.

My problem was that I couldn't get the right mac address form mac, so what I did was.

I downloaded ionetworkingfamily.kext from one of the first posts on this site, the one the is about 700 kb. I followed the instructions there, replacing the ionetworkinfamily.kext in extensions directory, and fixing all permissions, etc.

That messed up my networking, and ethernet did not show up in system preferences. So i followed the tutorial that I did before this, changing values in ionetworkingfamily.kext to fit my network card.

After restart, the ethernet was back. I used file from post 1 in this topic, which showed me my mac address. I wrote that down, swithced back to windows.

Copied the mac address into the aw.dat file, saved it. Then dragged this file onto the keygen.exe. That gave me some new values in aw.dat.

I switched back to mac. Launched maya, pointed to my license file and everything started working.

SWEET..

In addition to Josh25's post above. Script is working great, solution on page #5.

Running Leopard 10.5.2 (zephyrot amd version). Maya 2008 works like a charm.

hi to you all

well , i understand that some people got their maya working , but mine is still down
i'm just scared to do anything and replacing stuff and find my pc crashing , so i would like you to help me
my computer specs is down , adn i'm running Leopard TOH 10.5 , AND I have maya 2008 but if that's the problem i can work on any older maya , just to get it work and work on it
so if someone will help , then i should note that i'm new and don't know how to work with codes and all that
step by step for me would be nice of you

regards to you all

neo121, the deal with Maya was that , in a nutshell, flexlm was reading aw.dat wrongly. I confirmed that the script and the solution from page 5 of this post was working fine on leopard 10.5.2, and previously it was also confirmed with 10.5.1.
You have to install Maya2008 on Leopard then to use PC so you can generate your aw.dat based on your mac address. Edit included aw.dat, replace YourHostID with your MAC address and drag'n'drop it onto keymaker. Now you have your aw.dat which you'll have to copy (now in Leopard) into flexlm folder. So no matter you have properly installed license file which was 'properly' :-) generated, maya wasn't working for us until IONFix was applied. Just go to page#5 download IONfix.zip and run the script, reboot your Mac and you'll have your Maya working flawlessly.

Thanks for the file!! Now maya works fine! Maya 8.5 on 10.4.8!

After HOURS of doing this, it finally works. I was in the same boat as the a previous poster where even though the license worked, it kept popping up with the registration screen. Finally, the fix was to install everything first as described by Milanca and then create a new AW.DAT file on the PC with the MAC address from your network card, mine was an Aircard. Then put the AW.DAT and keygen in C:\FlexLM folder. Then went to run and typed "C:\FlexLM\awkegen.exe aw.dat" and hit enter. Then I took the new file and placed into /var/flexlm on in Leopard. Finally, ran Maya, got the registration screen, selected my file from /var/flexlm and it accepted. Had to relaunch Maya, but now working like a champ!

I had the same problem. I was modifying the aw.dat perfectly with the mac address without : , but was not recognized by maya. I did the fix as instructed, restart and MAYA 2008 now works on Hackintosh. This guy who did the script is a genius.

1. Download the file above
2. Extract it on the DESKTOP
3. Open a Terminal and sudo -s, then cd (change directory) to the the file(IONetwrkFmlyDRMFix)'s directory..
(i.e /Users/You/Desktop/IONetwrkFmlyDRMFix.app/Contents/MacOS/)
4. type "./IONetwrkFmlyDRMFix.sh" No quote..
5. Restart and should be done....

hi my problem is . i never workt with the terminal!!
i download the file file to the desktop
open my terminal and type sudo -s
terminal ask for my password!
then i go to my finder an pull it into die terminal window. than i type ./IONetwrkFmlyDRMFix.sh, restart my mac but nothing happens

could you explain step 3. -4. a little bit better ??
sorry for my english (German)
lg

GUYS PLZ HELP

i did what you told me and that's what happened in the terminal

neo-eagles-acpi:macOS neoeagle$ ./IONetwrkFmlyDRMFix.sh
./IONetwrkFmlyDRMFix.sh: line 4: /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/MacOS/IONetworkingFamily: Permission denied
kextcache: /System/Library/Extensions/Caches/com.apple.kext.info.BQnB - Permission denied
can't create /System/Library/Extensions.mkext.ScYl - Permission denied

from what i understand that i don't have permission to do the last point and i don't know how to fix it

i'm on leopard 10.5 TOH if the copy of the system is the problem i can get another , but tell me which one is gonna work correctly
if you help i'd be thankful for you all

nio121

for me it worked using the IONetwrkFmlyDRMFix but only when manually ran the .sh and NOT ran the last line of command (kextcache -a i386 -z -e /System/Library/Extensions), which made my jas os 10.4.10 unable to boot. i'm not a programmer, i don't know what it does, but i hope than somebody find this useful.
thanks again to A.Woland, yHX avenger and all the people involved!

here is a core2 e6600 with a P5W DH Deluxe, kalyway 10.5.2

the tip of not run the last line command works fine here.
and a past unsuccessful installation of lightwave 9.3.1 misteriously begins to work!

thanks a lot folks!

Thanks for posting this solution, it worked for me on 10.5.4 Kalyway

I find all of this amazing, everyone is struggling and no one is seeing the obvious solutions.

THE OBVIOUS:

• you're using pc_efi v6 or better (v8 was last version I believe).
• you have working ethernet.
• your hardware is not recognized as built-in.
• the guys who modified gfxutil didn't think to generate a binary that runs in 10.4 (too complicated I guess) so you can't generate a device-property string and couldn't figure out to ask them to recompile it.
• you don't know that a device-property string will resolve your built-in problem and removes the need to modify any kexts.
• you don't know anyone with your board running Leo who can generate a device-property string for the ethernet.
• you don't know that you can add the device-property string to your com.apple.Boot.plist file.
• you don't know that a single click Mac application exists to generate a key for every version of Maya in existence.
• you don't know that the generated license file from this Mac application will allow the different versions of Maya to run simultaneously on the same machine.
• you use the windows keygen.exe and mess with files to make the license file.
• nobody thought to specifically ask me anything.

I have a completly different problem to what others are having. I get through all installation.... when maya loads the licensing utitlity it all works... ethernet address fine... but maya doesnt load.... and everytime i load it the licensing utility comes up again. So it seems like the aw.dat file is working but its not remembering that it is. I downloaded an IOnetworkingfamily.kext file that was older than my own but that had no luck... and now i cant the original file that i had working again... getting error messages when the machine loads... will my os install discs fix that?

You installed MAYA, did you install a valid license file, if you did then the license utility wouldn't keep loading and, you cannot use a license file from another computer since it is coded against the built-in ethernet, run the Autodesk Product Configuration Wizard and click on the Show OPA Hardware Identifier on this computer. and see if it lists any, if it doesn't then that would be something that needs to be fixed first.

You can resolve this by providing the output of "gfxutil -f ethernet" (you can google this utility to find it if you don't already have it).
