good point jow.

Good things will come to those that wait.

i would really like a 'public' point release just to get the more stable dr.

i actually did write to get it but didnt receive an answer and its ok i understand the issues when some people got a newer version some dont.

just release whatever stable point release there is now so we dont have to write and ask for it

I also request for a point release and no answer from them.
if they have a new point release and they know its better in dr and probably other areas then why not release it to the public and not only to chosen ones?

...they know its better in dr and probably other areas then why not release it to the public and not only to chosen ones?

Because it has other issues that need to be addressed first, mostly having to do with the new protection scheme (dongles).

dongles sure can add up. but hey. it means you can put your liscence into your pocket and take it with you somewhere.

do you mean hardware dongles ?
(the small cartridge you connect in the back of the comp?)

That sure is a nice feature, I used my Solidworks licence like that on my laptop at a client. With the current protection, this would not be easy with Vray. I hope though that they will have a good policy for breaking or lost dongles...

...heh. I'm running out of USB ports...

dongle is the only way to avoid piracy.

[jacksc02]

i think its a good idea, it will help with the cross platform plans for the future. but we use a network license and it would be great if we could just have 1 dongle that has the network license on it.

[instinct]

I doubt a dongle would avoid piracy, but it would be a good switch in my eyes IF (and only if) the dongle´s license can still be used network-wide like the current license. Because i´d hate to get down under my desk everytime a freelancer needs my lincese while i´m working something esle :P

One can do this, yes. It works very much like the current floating license system, only the license server works with a dongle, and not with an authorization code.

The main reason we are switching to dongles is that will make porting of licenses a lot easier. Also, there will be no delay for email exchange in case you need to reinstall your machine because of hardware failures etc.
