  • Vray license error code -197

    Hello all
    my IT guy just installed Vray 2.0 on a new virgin, 64 bit machine, (never had 1.5 on it) but the dongle was from a 1.5 license from on old box
    install went well, wibu-key also went well (we think this 64 bit /32 bit is a bitch with this key)
    we launch Vray floating license and it seems to be working
    now in Max 2012,when switching renderers to Vray, I get the message "could not obtain a license (-197)
    anyone have any idea whats wrong, or have a solution
    I really need some help on this one

    Your dongle should be updated. To this end, here is what should be done:
    (*) Make sure the dongle is plugged in and start the V-Ray license server, if it is not already running
    (*) Open a web browser on the same workstation (Internet explorer or Mozilla Firefox for example) and type this into the address bar (this is a regular web site link):
    http://localhost:30304/goupgrade
    Please type the link exactly as is it and press enter.
    (*) When the "Success" page opens after the operation is done, save the remote context file (context.wbc) by right-clicking on the link and using Save Link As.. / Save Target As...;
    (*) E-mail us that file

    We will return another file which simply has to be double clicked to transfer the new data on your dongle.
