Error: -96 No such File or Directory

Problem:

Deadline is looking for a file instead of a license server.

Cause:

If the client machine is using a host name or IP address that is missing the preceeding @ symbol in either Deadline or in one of the environment variables.

This error will occur because without the @ symbol it will be looking for a file instead of a license server.

Solution:

Solution: To fix this, all you need to do is add the required @ symbol to the beginning of the license server’s entry. For example @lic-server instead of just lic-server. This will allow the license portion of Deadline to see that it is looking for a machine called ‘lic-server’ instead of a license file.
