+You must accept the EULA to proceed.
+====Licensing====
+Foundry uses the `FountryLicenseUtility` (FLU) to register the application. Run FLU and point it to your license file:
+<code>
+./FoundryLicenseUtility -l $HOME/FoundryLicensing/foundry.lic
+</code>
+There are various places you can place the Foundry License file:
+  * $HOME/FoundryLicensing/
+  * /usr/local/foundry/RLM/
+  * $HOME/FoundryLicensing/ ....directory not found, moving on.
+Alternately, you or your organisation may use a licensing server. This can be reached after launching MODO.

+====Applications Menu====
+Presumably because many studios have their artists launch applications from a shell, the MODO installer does not provide a launcher for the application menu. If you want one, create one in a text editor of your choice and save the file to `/usr/share/applications/modo.desktop`:

+====Alternatives====
+MODO is closed source. Unless you pay for a full license, it is illegal to use it for commercial purposes. A good open source alternative is [[blender|Blender]], which includes an extensive collection of plugins for sale and for free, and a wide variety of rendering options.
