This is where the documentation for me fell down and the catalyst for this article. Once enabled and logged in you will then be presented with a screen that look like this:Ĭongratulations you now have VRay 3.5 and Online license server working, easy right? Well yes and no, yes you have it working but what does it mean and how do you get it to work with the machines on your local network or on other remote networks. If you go through the installation process as you would normally (default selections are fine) you will get to the end of the process and your default internet browser with a window looking something similar to below:Ĭlick on ‘Enable Online Licensing’, you will then be asked to login using your ChaosGroup account: on completion a second window opens the License Server install. You go through the standard license agreement and choice of usage types etc. So, after uninstalling your previous version open up the 3.5 package. LOCALHOST 30304 ACTIVATE INSTALLIf you do decide down the line you want to borrow a license you can always install the stand-alone license server 4.0 application. The exception to this rule would be if there were a need to borrow an online license say on a laptop. This is because you are not likely to need to run Online licensing on the client machines, these will instead point towards your main license server. ![]() NOTE: If you run a network of machines and you currently have a central server that you use as a license server you do not need to uninstall your current V-Ray version before installing 3.5. LOCALHOST 30304 ACTIVATE UPGRADEWell to be fair it does with this upgrade too but importantly if you haven’t removed Vray before you run the install for some reason it doesn’t start up the Online Server installation immediately afterwards. Important: Before you install 3.5 you must uninstall any previous version that you may have had (if you want to use online licensing), for many including ourselves this is a bit odd as for most ‘upgrades’ Vray normally allows you to run the installer and it just overwrites the previous version. Be sure to use the filters on the left side. The online license server comes packaged with VRay 3.5 so no need to download a stand-alone server. LOCALHOST 30304 ACTIVATE SOFTWAREOf course you will need the 3.5 software package too, this can be downloaded from the normal channels ( ) after you have logged in. For us it was pretty simple and we got a response via email straight away, I am not sure what their policy is but hopefully you should be registered quite quickly. * I will assume that like ume you have one of more existing licenses for Max and that is locked on a USB dongle, if you haven’t then I will assume when you buy a license it will be an online version and you can bypass the ‘dongle’ parts of this post.Īs mentioned previously VRay 3.5 is currently in public beta, meaning that whilst you can download the software and use it as per normal, in order to utilise the online licensing you will need to apply to be part of there testing group. LOCALHOST 30304 ACTIVATE HOW TOThe purpose of this article is to try and explain what you can and cannot expect with the online licensing and how to achieve it – something that confused the hell out of me for a couple of days!!! I won’t focus too heavily in the installation process as this (credit to ChaosGroup) is relatively simple although there were a couple of nuances that I will mention as they may or may not get ironed out as the product moves out of beta. Online licensing has been around for a while for Revit, Sketchup, Modo and Rhino but maybe because its not the pretty end of VRay the literature on the subject is somewhat scarce. ![]() There are a whole host of new additions and features that are being packed into this release, many have been covered in other blogs but one thing we couldn’t find much written about is a new feature called online licensing. | 3dsMax & Vray, Software, Tips & Tricks, TutorialsĬhaos Group are currently public beta testing the latest incarnation of Vray for Max (Vray 3.5). ![]()
