Can anyone confirm that they’ve gotten this to work and what OS you’re using?

Hi Bob. I can confirm it works. macOS Sonoma 14.6 on M3Max MBP. Sometimes the instructions are not fully understood or followed. Just additionally to the given instructions I’m recommending:
1. Make sure to “install nlm11.19.4.0_ipv4_ipv6_mac64.tar”.
2. Make sure: “-copy from medicine folder the .dilyb and apply it on :/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/AdskLicensing/Current/AdskLicensingAgent/AdskLicensingAgent.app/Contents/PlugIns/”
=> That the correct “current” AdskLicensing was used to replace this dilyb.
3. “Copy from medicine folder the adskflex and license.dat and apply it on /usr/local/flexnetserver/ open terminal /usr/local/flexnetserver and execute ./lmgrd -c license.dat”
=> I’m also copying the license.dat into: /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/
It makes sense after some not successful trials for this kind of stuff to open the “Setup” application within the Autodesk folder. Go to the “Licensing” tab. Press “Reset” and than press “Apply”. Sometimes it also make sense to reboot after de-installtion or re-installation.

Would you recommend we remove 2024 versions and licensing before installing this?
Really struggled with the last 2025 versions and was a total nightmare, need to confirm 100% that they have sorted the issues on this before I give it another bash.

So I got everything installed and finally now the server starts and runs.
Never did that before with other versions…
Problem now is that when you start Flame, it bounces for a few seconds then just stops?!??!
I checked all permissions and access, all good.
Tried with firewall on and off, same thing?
Remove and reinstall or do you think I might have to put original 2025 on also?
Can this update run without the others installed?
