Purchasing VfSU

[Onslaught]

Don't know if this is the right place to ask this question. I've sent an email to ASGVIS but no answer yet. It's been 3 weeks now.

Our company has given me the go signal to purchase VfSU. Now I have a few questions before I get it.

1. How does the lic. work? Will it be 1 lic. per computer?
2. If I want to use it in the office and at home, how can I do this?
3. Is there a discount if I buy more than two lic.?
4. Will it work on a Mac?
5. What about upgrades? Are they free to those who purchased it?

These are just a few questions. I might have more but can't think of any at this point.

Thank you.

I'm sorry you didn't receive a response - I'm not sure why that would be.

1. How does the lic. work? Will it be 1 lic. per computer?

Currently our license system is the Installshield activation service. The license is tied to the machine you activate on - and can only be released by uninstalling the product. We are implementing a new license system that we hope to release with our upcoming service release in October. This new license system will suppport "floating" licenses. That means you can pick a machine to act as a license server, and install our product on many different machines. Whenever someone launches our product it will "check-out" a license.

2. If I want to use it in the office and at home, how can I do this?

We will generally give you an extra activation for your own home/laptop personal use

3. Is there a discount if I buy more than two lic.?

You would need to discuss that with our sales department. If you want to contact me via email I can ensure you get through to them.

4. Will it work on a Mac?

As of now we do not have a Mac build ready. We are PC only for the time being. We got access to a Mac version of the V-Ray SDK recently, so we will be moving to Mac - probably at our next major release.

5. What about upgrades? Are they free to those who purchased it?

Service releases are free to existing customers - these generally contain bug fixes and workflow fixes. Major releases, those that include new features, will not be free - but will be cheaper than buying the software for the first time.

Re: Purchasing VfSU

Woohooo!!!!!!!! Finally! Got our copy of VRay. One question........when I put the serial number and activated the program all the .visopt and all the materials went kaput. All that is left on the ASGVis folder was the (Options) folder.

Any ideas?
