For many years I using Vray. Two days ago I upgrade to Windows7 64 bits and start my problems. I already stopped BitDefender antivirus. After the Vray installation user normally restart. But I was wondering why I never found a step-by-step to tell that after installation and after to run 3DS Max (11 in my case) you need to run v-ray license Server. But I was thinking … how can a new user know that he should to place “Launch V-Ray License server” in the start programs? or what should he do to use 3DMax and can render with V-Ray?

Vray came with a Readme.rtf titled “V-Ray 1.5 Service Pack 5 for 3ds Max readme” but is funny because only talk about overview and features… nothing useful for a new user.

Check the installation PDF guide on the [spot3d.com](http://spot3d.com) help index, it includes somewhat more detailed instructions.
