  • V-ray GUI vs render nod setup

    Please forgive my ignorance. It's been years and I've been extremely busy.
    I have 1 GUI V-ray Next perpetual license and 3 V-ray next render node perpetual licenses.
    So obviously only 1 can be full user GUI and that is fine since I'm only one person. But now do I determine / move the full v-ray GUI license to best machine I want to use? Or can they interchange?
    I need 1 PC setup as the main PC and 2 other PCs setup as render nodes to help the main one render when needed. Currently my V-ray GUI is being used on an old slow machine that will no longer be used.
    Thank you.

    You can use your V-Ray NEXT GUI license on whichever computer you like. Just install Chaos license server and sign in with the email associated with your license.

        V-Ray NEXT is not available for 3ds Max 2022. The highest version is 2021.

          Thank you. That is bad news. I have 2022 and AD will not let me activate 2021.

            Thank you. I have 2 PCs running 3ds Max full GUI but not at the same time. I am only one person. One PC is in my office and the other in my bedroom I generally use after hours, both on same network.
            I have 1 V-ray GUI license and 3 V-ray render node licenses.
            Am I able to use either PC with V-ray GUI one at a time?
            It's very helpful to be able to work back and forth on either PC due to location and they also have some different plugins.
            When I render a big project I intend to network them together for distrubted render.
            Is this abe to be done?

              Yes, as long as you are not trying to use it at the same time it will work.
