Dongle Query - Can V3 Dongle Still Be Used For V2 Software?

[CA76]

Afternoon

We're about to start upgrading our Sketchup Pro 2015 / V-Ray 2 For Sketchup Users up to Sketchup Pro 2018 / V-Ray 3 For Sketchup.

Guys on the coalface are concerned there is a learning curve from V-Ray 2 to V-Ray 3.

If we install V-Ray 3 on machines - Can we still keep V-Ray 2 installed, and if so will the dongles still work if we upgrade the dongles to V3?

That way they can still use the older software to meet project deadlines and move up to V-Ray 3 when trained.

(Obviously file compatibility issues etc - but that is a different discussion with my guys).

Cheers

Hi,

When upgrading from V-Ray 2 to V-Ray 3 you'll get 6-months license for V-Ray 2 too, so that you'll be able to finish your projects with V-Ray 2.
You can have V-Ray 2 and V-Ray 3 on the same computer if they are for different SketchUp versions (V-Ray 2 for SketchUp 2015 and V-Ray3 for SketchUp 2018 ) . For that to work - install first V-Ray 3 and after that V-Ray 2 (V-ray 3 installation will remove the old V-Ray 2 installation, but not vice-versa).
