vray_adv_150SP1_max2008_x64.exe

[anthon]

I'ma having problems obtaining licens from remote softeare licens server with the 'vray_adv_150SP1' for max2008.

Anyone know why..?!

(I know it says "works only with dongle" .. but the prior inst.files said the same, and worked fine..)

[vlado]

While previous versions (e.g. RC3) did include the possibility to use the software license, the service pack does not work with it.

thanks for listening, vlado.

but... the 'vray_adv_15000_max90_x64.exe' worked fine with the software licens server system.
I've just (some moth ago) set up our licens server with 6 licences..
Arg.. Does this mean that I have to order that 'dongle-thing' now..

[anthon]

STTOOOOP... I've got the dongler... damn, I forgot.

-I'll be back... gone checking..

[vlado]

For the dongles, please send us an email to vray@chaosgroup.com with all relevant information about your V-Ray purchase and we'll sort it out.

For the .exe, I'm not sure where you got it from, but it definitely did not work with the software license server.

Best regards,

Well, vlado.. regarding the 'vray_adv_15000_max90_x64.exe', there's only one place to get that and thats at the chaosgroup support section.. so..

but, you're right.. I've had the dongle for time now.. with the 6 licences running fine.

Still, my problem now is that I cannot get a licens from a workstation.

when in max2008, applying vray as render, the 'V-Ray:: Authorization' flyout is the only one accesable with the 'edit/set licens server information' button..
It sems like my licens server (running on the dongle ) wont accept the SP1 installs..

do I make sense..?! or.. shouldnt this be a problem..

[vlado]

Well, you need to update the license server from the service pack as well; it will not work with the old server.

Vlado

hmm... right. logical.. all fine now.

cheers vlado

vray_adv_150SP1_max2008_x64.exe has encountered a problem

... when i try to install i get this error

vray_adv_150SP1_max2008_x64.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

wright at he beginning

any idea

[ene.xis]

re-download it...happened to me too!

[tryharder]

... yes that solved the problem

[tryharder]

everything was fine , then i installed vray for max 2008 32 bit and vray for max 9. Because i use all three for special purposes ...

now he can not find the plugins anymore if i start max 2008 64 bit

dll can not be loaded ...



3ds max 9 64 bit works fine so

[vlado]

Which plugins? Are you sure you installed the correct version? Also, check your plugin.ini file in the root folder of 3ds Max (the line about additional V-Ray plugins must be the last one).

Best regards,
Vlado

Hi Vlado,

plugin.ini

[Directories]
V-Ray additional plug-ins=C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2008\plugins\vrayplugins
V-Ray main plug-ins=C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2008\plugins

DLLs not loading
all the 15 dll s that are in the vrayplugins folder

except vray proxy that one does it

deinstalled installed

PS:
OK i got 3DS Max 2008 64 now working after another install
and now 3DS Max 2008 is also working

i deleted all files in all directories manually befor new installation. There must have been some garbage ...

Thanks anyway

plugin.ini

[Directories]
V-Ray additional plug-ins=C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2008\plugins\vrayplugins
V-Ray main plug-ins=C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2008\plugins

That was the problem.
The additional plug-ins has to come AFTER the main plug-ins one.
