#VRAY LICENSE DRIVERS#
I have opened a thicket on the matter before when i was advised to update the License manager software as well as the Wibu drivers which we did. We can test that eventually but a the moment it would be too much interfering with the projects we are doing at the moment.
Moving the dongles to a non virtual machine is not possible in the short therm. To fix this the above mentioned method of disabling the network adapter than using the troubleshooting to re-enable it fixes the problem for the moment. Only from time to time when a new 3ds max instance is run it doesn't have a license although there is another instance of 3ds max on the same machine at the same time with a license. The licensing works normally to all the pc's 98% of the time.
#VRAY LICENSE WINDOWS#
There is the standard windows firewall which is on by default in the Win Server with the proper exceptions. Also the weird thing is that the license server sees the dongles and licenses as checked on the server itself and on a workstation through the "" interface. The Vray License Server Runs on the virtual machine Win Server 2012, this is a dedicated server and does very little computing so no rendering or anything like this going on. We can provide additional details if and when required, V-Ray Render Node 3.0 licenses list RENDERĞxpires V-Ray for 3ds Max 3.0 licenses list GUIĞxpires Includes access to all updates and future versions. 1006) but notice it here much less frequently because nobody works behind those pc'sġ Server Windows Server 2012 running as a virtual machine accesing the 4 dongles through a USB port emulator Products included: Workstation license includes 1 Graphic User Interface (GUI) and 1 V-Ray Render Node License type: Annual license. Closing any of the previous ones or all of them, than starting a new one doesn't help to get the license back.ġ4 render farm PC's, (Sometimes we get errors of Vray loosing a license as a reason for a Job crash, er. After that Start up 3ds max and the license is back.Īlso it happens that one has 2 instances of 3ds max with the license available and the third instance doesn't have the license. The only way is to turn off 3ds Max, than disable the Network adapter, use troubleshooting to activate it again. So it seems the license server is working with no issues only the communication between the license server and the licensing part of the workstation looses connection somehow. This seemed like it helped but after a while the problem returned and it happens now about 10-15 times a week spread across 10 workstations.Ī curious thing is when acceding the license server through from the station that lost the license or any other one, there are plenty of GUI and DR licenses are available shown.
#VRAY LICENSE DRIVER#
And then there is the issue of annual subscription services but that is a completely different discussion.Our office is experiencing a strange problem of spontaneously and randomly using the vray license under 3ds max 2016, previously also 3ds max design 2014.Īll the software is upgraded to last versions and on recommendation of ChaosGroup help desk we installed the last driver for WIBU and the last license manager. I guess they expect you to be connected to the internet to get anything done anyway. For what its worth it seems like many software companies are doing an online license lately. So anything is possible, but sometimes you have to get creative. I had to go up to the top of a ridge nearby to get a good signal. When it was time to render I used my cell phone as a hot spot and logged in to the license server. Thankfully monitors are very light these days compared to the old behemoths.
I brought my laptop which is pretty powerful and one of my 24 inch monitors to get some work done. I recently traveled to my sister in laws in Oregon where they had no internet and only a weak cell signal. Maxwell is considerably slower even in their latest release but it is better quality and has Multilight.
Both Maxwell and Vray require an online license.
