The Slave cannot run in LICENSE-FREE MODE

Problem:

While attempting to use Deadline in license free mode, the slaves appear to show an error saying they are unable to find license server.

Cause:

If the slave sees more than two (2) machines listed in the slave panel, it will report that it is not eligible for license free mode.

Solution:

Open the monitor and verify how many slaves are listed in the slave panel.

If there is more than two (2), you will need to eliminate slaves from the list until only two (2) are listed. If you cannot remove slaves, you will need to obtain a license from Thinkbox Sales.
