sorry if this is a stupid case, since it’s already a years of anything but news from chaos, i forgot the right combination of my login and the password. The only thing i know for sure is my email add (yea.. chaos sent it trough this email :shock: )
so i filled the email add on the forgotten password form and left the username empty. No reply until today.
sad…
Can we order 2 dongles if we only have 1 license ? Just in case it gets broken/wet/etc ?
At a guess, probably not… although it would be handy.

we have two licenses and work on two laptops. We have a small farm here at the office. We always take our laptops home so that we may work on the way to/from work. We also work alot from our homes. Hence the dongles will be were our laptops are. But that will bring our farm to a halt as we disconnect our laptops in the afternoon.
I could leave the license at the office and connect with VPN to obtain the license but then I can’t work unless I’m on-line. Is there a solution to this that I havn’t understood. That is without paying for a nother license to serve the farm?
It may be possible to get an empty dongle (you can even buy one yourself directly from WIBU), but it will still need to be reprogammed remotely when you need the V-Ray license on it.

There is, in fact, a way to do this. The render slaves only need a connection to a working license server, but they do not need a license, as such. So you can just plug the dongle out, and leave the V-Ray license server running. The server will refuse interactive V-Ray licenses, but the render farm should work fine.

ok, so all I have to do is have the dongle running once on a workstation at work and simply unplug it leaving the pc running?
You can try this, yes. Of course, it would be best to have a dongle at all times (e.g. in case the machine or the license server gets restarted for some reason).

k thanks I’ll give it a try and hope it works.
