The easiest way to install spawners?

Works great!
Any idea on how to Fill License Server field with more then 2 IP address of remote slaves? It has only 2 fields..

Maybe I'm in an other situation, but I don't remember me that I touched the license server. I use a master machine and four slaves. I think slaves don't need licenses.

All machines need license - there are no exceptions.
The workstation machine ( which holds the dongle ) do not need configuration cause by default Vray License Server is looking for a license on that machine.
All other machines (which do not have a plugged dongle) - have to be configured to get licenses from the workstation machine - otherwise Vray won't work.

There are actually 3 fields where you can enter License Server - Primary / Alternative 1 / Alternative 2 - I am not sure if more options are available - I'll check that with our developers and I'll let you know later.

that would be great! thank you

This has gotten a little confusing and possibly it's the language of server, client, and slave. We run both DRSpawner and XMLDRSpawner and have a network license server for V-Ray 1.05.29 and one for 1.5. For this, each full installation of V-Ray for Rhino that's running does need a license, where the definition of a full installation is one in which you have V-Ray for Rhino installed in Rhino; when Rhino is launched, the V-Ray plug-in loads and requires a license. These clients point to a license server or a local dongle for their licensing; V-Ray won't launch within Rhino if it can't find a license server. Normally you don't have lots of license servers because each license server can support multiple clients (e.g. a 30-license server). It's possible, if the workstation dongles can "float" their licenses when their own machines aren't using them, that you would run into a situation where you would have multiple license servers, but this seems to be the reason you'd go with a multi-copy network license server, where all clients are pointing to the same server. "Slave" machines, defined as machines which are just doing distributed rendering (running DRSpawner or XMLDRSpawner), don't consume a license; you won't see a network connection between a machine just running a spawner and the license server. You aren't limited by the licensing in the number of these slave machines you can run, but practically, with each fully licensed V-Ray for Rhino machine able to talk with up to 10 of the slave machines at once, you end up running out of hardware to be slave machines (unless you're a renderfarm).

That's the situation here. Works fine without to touch any license tool.

Here a screenshot I did in the past, how I installed the last spawner. Works fine.

Thanks for the screen shot. The instructions actually never tell you which combination to install ... except for "spawner' ... which never worked for me.
