The licensing rules are exactly the same for Corona 7 and older and for Corona 8.
You are using X workstations and Y render nodes at a time.
You need X workstation licenses and Y render node licenses.
If you are not sure how many licenses you need / what type or something is not working as you would expect it, please contact us through this form: https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
My boss just got an e-mail telling us our subsription plan got a lot more expensive, from 25 Euros to 60.
Granted, we got 3 work nodes in our plan, too, but we did not change our subscription plan on our own, we had those in our plan for ages…
Can we at least downgrade our plan without paying the new prices?
As the link above says, more information coming throughout the day. It takes time to work through all the backend, emails, website, etc. changes (and unfortunately some emails were sent out of sequence through circumstances beyond our control). Once you see the Corona 9 release videos, announcements, etc. all pricing details will also be live!
First you tell us it will only be more expensive for people who create a new subscription or change their plan.
Then we get an e-mail telling us about a hefty price change without any further explanation.
I ask for help and clarification and get a one line reply with a link to a site stating that you are not ready yet and cant say anything specific.
I am a bit confused, to say the least, and am eagerly awaiting further information when it arrives…
P.S.: Would have loved to have a least one render node for free… Would have been great to be able to throw some test renderings onto the farm while I keep working on the scene.
Been with Corona since the beginning, just got an email that my plan (need to switch it to the basic option now as it is automatically going to be set to the upper tier plan) will be $100 more a year now. I knew since Chaos took over that prices would go up, but I’m still peeved about it. Bad timing with our economy and all for me. Also with the basic option I will only be able to use Corona at work, and another $100 a year price tag (which would be $200 more than what I used to pay) is not worth it just to use it at home and the office. Blah.
in v9 premium we get Chaos Phoenix, Chaos Scans, Chaos Player.
I want to try Phoenix
If I go to My Chaos page-> sign in → downloads-> Phoenix for 3ds max → 3ds max version → I see Phoenix 5.01.00 for vray 6 and vray 5 only. There are no version for corona. What should I install if I have no vray ? (or only vray 4 license?)
We will improve the naming ASAP.
