Motherboard fried will I need to reauthorize Max and Vray?

[rpc212]

Hi,

My motherboard fried over the weekend. Really annoying to say the least! Anyway I am wondering when I replace the motherbaord with the same make and model will I have to reauthorize Max and Vray?

The hard drives with the Max and Vray licenses are fine just the motherbaord burnt (southbridge).

that sucks stupid hardware

and yes you'll probably need to re-auth.

See? there lies the advantage of the hardware dongle...

BTW... sorry about the HW failure... that really sucks.

Actually, with the way WIBU keys work, you need to reauthenticate if you move it to a different machine. At least that's what happens with the WIBU key that we have in the office for FormZ.

Yes it sucks alright! Right when I am about to start a job . . . errrrrrr!

It was very bright watching the south bridge burn up though. The smell was horrible. It is still hanging around! I am going to have to look into insurance for this kind of thing. Real pain in the ###!

rpc212 I feel for ya buddy, thats happend on more than one ocasion here.

Dynedain, I thought that one of the advantages of the V-Ray key was that you could move it from one box to another without having to re-auth it?

That's not the case with the VRay key. You don't need to authenticate anything, and you can move it around as much as you want.
