  • Safe dongle removal procedure?

    What is the safe procedure for removing the dongle from the USB port? Can you just pull it out or must you end some process (like you do on a normal USB flash drive) before removing it from the port?

    Before I upgraded to 3.7 I would manually launch the license server using the V-ray 3 icon on my desktop, insert the dongle and then do my 3D work. When I was through doing 3D work I would manually stop the license server using the v-ray 3 icon on my desktop and then remove the dongle from the USB port.
    Now that I upgraded to 3.7 it automatically launches the license server when the maching boots so I can no longer start or stop it like I used to. The icons are gone.

    I do not want to just leave the dongle in the machine all the time because I use it with 2 different machines and I also do lots of other work on these machines besides 3D. Only a small part of my work do I use 3Ds max and the rest is video editing.

    There are still:

    Start Menu\Programs\Chaos Group\Chaos License Server\Start Chaos License Server
    Start Menu\Programs\Chaos Group\Chaos License Server\Stop Chaos License Server

    That being said - you can just plug it out / in.
