+ | ====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. |
