Trial License Setup

[samuel_bubat]

I just installed the latest Trial version of Phoenix for Max 2014. Somehow I can?t get the license to work. The mail that was send to me says. "You?ll need to enable your Online License at the final step of the installation to get started with your trial." There is no such step during the installation process. When I open Phoenix and hit "Configure license server" I get to see the license settings for my Vray installation. Also the FAQ didn?t really help. Any help is much appreciated.

It looks like there is something unclear in the documentation.
I'll find someone to help you with that and afterwards we'll try to improve the Docs.

Please be informed that the Trial of PhoenixFD 3.0 for 3ds Max comes with an Online license. You will need to login with the username that you used to apply for the Trial at the V-Ray Online License Server web interface at http://localhost:30304 - if this link is not available please download and install the latest standalone build of the V-Ray Online License Server from here: https://download.chaosgroup.com/license-server

We have our Vray licenses running on a server. Do I need to install that license server for Phoenix additionally on my local machine ? Can this interefere in some way with my Vray license ?

Ok I finally got it working. Had to install the license server locally and than had to add localhost and our server to the license server settings so both Vray and Phoenix works.

Thank you for the update! It is possible to install the latest version of the V-Ray Online License server on your primary license server as well and activate the Online licensing there. That way the Trial license will be available to the other computers in your office too.
However if there is already another account with Online licenses activated on your primary license server it will be best to activate the Trial only on your local machine.
