could not obtain licence -197

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Issues
1

Hi,

I just upgraded my vray 1.5 to 2.3. Installation was succesfull but I get the could not obtain licence -197 error. What am I doing wrong here? Licence server is running. Do I have to change licence server connection ports or something? I am using win 7 64bit and of course vray 2.3 64bit. I installed vray with admin priviledges and started server with admin privs. Is it possible that 1.5 licence and 2.0 licence are now somehow mixed badly?

I checked my server status and it still says vray/adv 1.5. Do I have to manually somehot update the server or shouldn’t the installed do it?

Do you have your dongle license upgraded?
You can "chack the status of your license by “http://localhost:30304”.
Also > V-Ray 2.0 cannot run with the license server from previous V-Ray versions - you must use the V-Ray license server provided with V-Ray 2.0 itself.

I just got licence upgrade from reseller. Now it’s working.
