Stands for Advanced. There used to be different Versions. These days there is only demo builds and advanced builds i think.

Hi instinct, thanks.
Download it but didn't install it : ) i've been on beta for ever and it worked fine, but this name changing and the changelog text is not clear on this. On an internet search i found that adv is vray for cpu, which is different for gpu, still don't understand. Anyway, i'll wait : )

Yes, the Beta nightly builds become Advanced V-Ray builds. Similar to our other products we have also Educational versions, Demo versions..
The name changes due to our licensing policy and also to keep the naming format from our other products. So the new Advanced build need commercial license to work and this build will not work with the beta render node licenses.

Hi Tashko, now i understand, thanks.
Will install it but i think i should install first the new 'V-Ray Online License Server 4.0 (x64)' 4.1.0, right?
Anyway, if it doesn't work i will bug the support by email.
Thanks, Carlos

It is definitely good idea to update the license server to the latest 4.0 version.

Yesterday, I switched the nightly builds to use the official commercial license, since the beta licenses expire in a few days anyway ( on 14th or 15th of July, this week).
If you haven't purchased V-Ray for MODO, but want to test some changes that I make in the next 2 to 3 days, I can make a "beta" build and upload it to dropbox or something similar.
