How to get Maya AdskLicensingService working on Ubuntu?

ph flag

Following this Autodesk tutorial, I'm running into a road block where enabling Autodesk Licensing Service service fails:

systemctl enable adsklicensing –-quiet
Failed to enable unit: Unit file \xe2\x80\x93-quiet.service does not exist.

This post quotes the exact same issue, but --quiet renders the same error.

Play by play:

This is OK:

sudo apt-get install ./adsklicensing9.2.1.2399_0-1_amd64.deb

But this doesn't know about the service:

systemctl status adsklicensing

So trying the next step, this doesn't exist:

/opt/Autodesk/AdskLicensingService --run

So I found it in:

/opt/Autodesk/AdskLicensing/9.2.1.2399/AdskLicensingService/AdskLicensingService

but it just sits there and nothing happens:

/opt/Autodesk/AdskLicensing/9.2.1.2399/AdskLicensingService/AdskLicensingService --run

So I do the next steps they suggest:

sudo getent group adsklic &>/dev/null || sudo groupadd adsklic
sudo id -u adsklic &>/dev/null || sudo useradd -M -r -g adsklic adsklic -d / -s /usr/sbin/nologin  
sudo ln -sf /opt/Autodesk/AdskLicensing/9.2.1.2399/AdskLicensingService/AdskLicensingService /usr/bin/AdskLicensingService
sudo mkdir /usr/lib/systemd/system
sudo cp -f /opt/Autodesk/AdskLicensing/9.2.1.2399/AdskLicensingService/adsklicensing.el7.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/adsklicensing.service
sudo chmod 644 /usr/lib/systemd/system/adsklicensing.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable adsklicensing –quiet
sudo systemctl start adsklicensing

But the second last one:

sudo systemctl enable adsklicensing –quiet (or --quiet)

says:

Failed to enable unit: Unit file \xe2\x80\x93quiet.service does not exist.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
