loll elf

Peter: That's right I have read just a part of this but I had a very bad experience with waiting for a new max dongle that's why....

And we need a response to the elf question

[Da_elf]

what was my question?

this is a kind of question, like:
When the dongle will be shipped it will be the 1.5 version or not??????
something like that

[Da_elf]

ah that was a joke not a question hehe
vlado did say in another post that im too lazy to go dig up that there will be a point release before 1.5 and it will use the dongle. vrays going though beta testing right now and it seems bug free but i guess we need a full testing from the entire community of users on a point release before they can finally say "yup. here is 1.5 without bugs"

Portability is a big plus with the dongle, and that is an excellent thing. price is not too bad either but; "All local expenses must be handled by the customer. Please note that this is the case with any other product purchased from a different country (e.g. 3dsmax in places where there is no Autodesk reseller, or books purchased online from Amazon.com). Chaos Group will make reasonable efforts to supply the dongles in a timely manner. "

That would be the case with any new purchase. Old Vray owners were promised 1.5 free of charge and therefore this charge popped out of nowhere and was not accounted for in the original deal.

we also got tonnes more features that were not part of the original deal so doesnt it kinda work itself out to being the same? hey. im like anyone else. i need to go and get the money together (which wont hurt me that much) to be able to get the dongle. but im also very exited about 1.5 the dongle will allow me to take my liscence to school when i go and teach.

I agree chicoone portability is the big plus.

That would be the case with any new purchase. Old Vray owners were promised 1.5 free of charge and therefore this charge popped out of nowhere and was not accounted for in the original deal.

i'm not really sure to have understand this (my bad english) but I remember that I have emailed Chaos when I had by Vray to ask if I must repay for the 1.5 And they have answer no.

[Da_elf]

how long ago was that?

[chicoone]

Da_elf,

I agree with all that you said and I know that Vray has given much free up to my recent 14703. Vray will only get even better and I will gladly pay this one inmediate cost. Looking forward to all the new features coming.

Is it being shipped from Bulgaria? Shipping cost to US & Canada??

I'm with Laurent - I have had nothing but bad experience with dongles. Why doesn't anyone else use them anymore if they are so great???

Regards Peter.

I can't complain about dongles - in fact I think it is a good idea for moving licenses around. Eyeon uses dongles on Fusion, which works well for me since I can move the license from home to work whenever I want to.

I just wish they were 'pass-thru' like the parallel port dongles, so you could daisy chain several of them together.

how long ago was that?

the time has nothing to do with this, We are waiting for a long time to have a new version and this is not the question.
