Problem summary
Running Modo in Slave mode via a GUI version uses a License up.
Customer reported version
Modo 13.1
Customer reported platform
Windows
Steps to reproduce
1. Point your machine to a RLM server with a Modo license on it
2. Launch the main Modo executable in slave mode. Either
- Launch Modo and click on Render > Enter Slave Mode from the menu
- Launch Modo from a command prompt or terminal with -slave mode e.g. C:\Program Files\Foundry\Modo\12.2v2>modo.exe -slave
3. Check your license usage on the server, you will still have modo_i license checked out
Expected behaviour
Slave mode should not use a license at all
Actual behaviour
Slave Mode is using up an interactive license.
Workaround
Using a Command Prompt/Terminal, running Modo via the modo_CL.exe and the -slave option it runs Modo in Headless Slave mode and this doesn't use up a license. The command is :
Modo_CL.exe -slave
Or
Modo_CL.exe \slave
