Hi James, 2010 introduced the ever important 'product information table' or PIT. This is used for both standalone and network licensing. If you have a .pit file set for network, it won't work for standalone. I bet your PIT is not correct for stand alone. It's binary, so I have had to delete it, and re-create it. From page 25 of maya2010installationlicensingguide.pdf, it says:

Run the following commands to register Maya with the Autodesk licensing software, where is your product key, and is your serial number: ? (Stand-alone licensing) /usr/autodesk/maya2010-x64/bin/adlmreg -i S 2010.0.0.F /var/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/Maya2010/MayaConfig.pit

This will create a .pit file here:

/var/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/.config/ProductInformation.pit

Once that is set, you might need to set ADLM_LICENSE_FILE_LOCATION to point to the directory where your license lives.

Hope this helps.
