Autodesk, unfortunately, does not provide an installer package (pkg) file that can be easily deployed throughout the fleet. Instead, they have an app installer that can be run silently with a few commands.
Start by creating a pkg installer that will drop in the Install Maya 2019.app and a few other files in specific places.
The package will install the app and all components using the Install Maya 2019.app through the setup binary. This will allow it to run silently without an installer GUI. Be sure to drop the license/config files in the Application Support folder.
License Files
There are three files required for the network volume licensing deployment. All files should be available at:
/Library/Application\ Support/Autodesk/CLM/LGS/657K1_2019.0.0.F/
• LGS.data
• LICPATH.lic
• nw.cfg
LGS.data contents:
_NETWORK
LICPATH.lic contents:
SERVER license.server.pri 000000000000
nw.cfg contents:
done
Post Install Script
Include a postinstall script to run the setup in quiet mode, launch the app when the install completes, and remove the copied installer items.
