could not obtain license (0)

[jkv]

hey there,
i have the same problem like the one discribed here.
again and again vray said "could not obtain license (0)"

i allso send all infos of the status to chaosgroup! u told me to follow the install instructions on your support site. I did that and again and again and again ...
Of course i can restart max and vray and in most cases all is working, till the time came when all brake down again, and again ...

so i need something that helped me ti fix that problem!
i have the latest vray version 1.50 sp3a and max 2009 design.

just by the was some examples when the licence brake down:
in one scene i just copied a vray light and the licence was gone - when i deleted the light all was fine!

when i use dr sometimes the licence is gone, when i turn it off, the licence is back!

thanks for reading and hopefully helping!

If you email me to vlado@chaosgroup.com I can get you a newer version of the license server which should avoid this particular problem.

Best regards,

Hi Jan. I recently had the same problem has you, license server update seems to have done it for me.
Just out of curiosity, how is your hardware key mounted, back side usb ports or front ports? You happen to have a asus motherboard?

You just have to overwrite the server file, simple straight forward process. Hope it fixes your problem.
