How to Disable watermark rendering when license aquiration fails.

[Fridayvfx]

Hello,
it seems that with V-Ray 5 there is a new policy where V-Ray will render a watermark instead of throwing an error when a license acquisition is not possible or takes unusually long.
Sometimes it happens in production that all licenses are used. Now the problem is that, if a render node does for some reason not get a license, it will still render the image but with the watermark.
That is super annoying. Since the artist has to then re-que the frames that have the watermark. Also, quite some CPU-Time gets potentially lost because you only see "ah, crap, watermarks" when the rendering is already done.

I would really appreciate if there would be a flag in V-Ray standalone that disables watermark rendering and throws an error instead, so something like "trowLicenseError=1".

Would that be possible to implement?

Thank you!

Could you please share a screenshot of the watermark and another screenshot of the licenses that appear in your license server status page "127.0.0.1:30304". What version of V-Ray is installed on your machine, are you using VRScan materials? On how many machines you work with V-Ray at the same time? What is your 3d application? Also please share with us what is the exact email/username tied to your licenses, so we can check it in our database.
