The RC3 build of V-Ray does not require a dongle in order to run. For this purpose you need to choose the “software license” option during the installation.
The older 1.46 build of V-Ray is available for VIZ 2007 on request and you can get it if you email me to vlado@chaosgroup.com
If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to call us on the numbers listed on the website in order to get instant response, instead of waiting in the dark.
Our office locks out international phone access and I do not have outbound email either due to govt security. It’s a real pain to get the right people to address software issues.
I’ll give the RC3 a go with Max9 today now that I know it is different than the previous installs.
