Nightlies missing

[janko22]

Hi, when I login to nightlies site all the folders are empty. I don't have a dongle. Is nightlies access closed for us without dongles?

The nightly build access has expiration dates, just like the beta licenses.
So, your access probably expired on 2015-10-31.
You need to write to support@chaosgroup.com to get it extended. They should extend it for everyone on the beta.

Note that I will soon remove the software license builds from the nightly builds, as this type of license won't be used in the upcoming official builds, which use a different kind of licensing (which again doesn't require a dongle).
There might be a (hopefully short) period of time during which people without dongles won't be able to test the latest nightly changes.

Ok, thanks.
If it's not confidential, can you explain what kind of licensing will be used once Vray for Modo is released? Will it be something similar to Modo's per user and not per computer licensing?

Hopefully you will be able to test it very soon. The whole idea of extending the V-Ray for MODO beta even further was to test this new type of license.

That sounds exciting. Actual V-Ray licensing model is far from convenient. Can't wait to get some information about it.
