Note for Launching Nuke within your Foundry Education Collective
When launching older versions of Nuke with an individual login-based license, you may see a License Expiry Warning message. This is caused by an error that prevents your license token from being renewed. Once your current token expires, you will be unable to launch Nuke. Mari and Katana are not affected by this issue.
To ensure continued access, please follow the steps in this Knowledge Base article to download the latest versions of Nuke that do not encounter this issue.
Please contact Foundry support for further assistance if issue persist.
