Hi Corona team,

Is it possible to use 1 Corona License to 2 instances of 3Ds Max in one computer?

-in my case, only 1 3Ds Max is able to detect the license. While the other opened 3Ds Max, it says “Chaos Corona License not found”

I just tried launching 2 instances of 3ds Max with Corona 12 on a single PC and rendering and everything is working as expected - only 1 GUI and 1 render node license are engaged. As my colleague Avi explained, please submit a support ticket and the dedicated team will assist you.

Hi guys, thank you for response! Greatly appreciated!  
Yesterday, I managed to make it work, just like what Maru did  
-I just logged-in to our chaos account in the PC, restarted 3Ds Max, then Corona 12 worked fine

Anyway, here’s another question - in our office, I’m using Laptop and PC (I switch between these machines as needed)  
If both LAPTOP and PC are logged-in to our chaos account, and I used Corona 12 in the LAPTOP, will your system auto log-out our account in the PC?
