Hi
What must I put where to have my VRay license server start automatically when I start-up Windows?
Thanks
There are two options:
1. You can click Start menu > Programs > Chaos Group > V-Ray for 3ds Max > Licensing > Administration > Register V-Ray license service and then restart your machine. This will cause the V-Ray license server to start automatically every time you start Windows, regardless if there is a user logged on to the system.
2. You can create a short cut to the V-Ray license server in the Start menu > Programs > Startup folder (either to your local user one or to the All Users one). This will cause the V-Ray license server to start every time you or someone else logs on to the machine.

As always even for this there is more than one option…love it;)
Thanks

something i ve noticed lately is that the license server started as a service sucks way much memory than staretd manually!
is there a reason?
i ve just noticed this after sp1…
What is the memory difference? In general, the license server does not know and does not care if it is running as a service or not, so I’m not sure what may be causing this.

from left to right:
30 minutes after computer activation this morning license manager started as a service. no 3dsmax session started.
15 minutes after. Some 3dsmax doodling and one render test.
killed the license manager. started license manager manually.
15 minutes after. Some more 3dsmax doodling and a couple of render tests…
Ok then; I’ll try to reproduce this here. Which OS is that, by the way? It is apparently 64-bit, but is it XP, 2003 server or Vista?

:lol:
damn i ts too early i remember sayng too myself i have not to forget to post the OS!
windows xp professional 64
Hmm, from what I also see on the screenshots, the 64-bit server is registered as a service, but then when you started it manually, you started the 32-bit one, so it’s not quite the same thing. Can you also do a test if you start the 64-bit server manually?

right as always…
this was 10 min after the 32bits license manager was killed and started the 64bits durind dr render…so i guess no difference between service or manual :roll: nontheless is the difference between 32 and 64 bits license manager expectable?does the 32 bits license manager works for the 64bits vray?
The bit-ness of V-Ray and the license server does not matter - both the 32-bit and the 64-bit servers work with both 32- and 64-bit versions of V-Ray.
As for the 32/64-bit difference, I will have to look more carefully; they are compiled from exactly the same code, so the only difference may come from the Windows components that they are using - I’ll have to make more precise tests for this.

Vlado
right!
thanx vlado.
