Vray 3 beta - Could not obtain license (-200)

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

As the title says,
I installed on a pc that do not have the dongle attached, so i use the ip addres (worked on 2.4 without problems) to access the license.
what i did
-run as administrator
-install as workstation
-check that i can see the license via web (“ipnumber”:30304)

Any ideas?

I had the same problem. Did you register and start the vray license server if using it as a service ?

Hi Steve, i tried that but didnt work.
I dont want to install it on the main pc because there are on going proyects. I remember that i even used hamachi without problems.

Vray 3.0 has updated License Server - please make sure that the new License Server is configured and launched.
Older license servers from 2.x version won’t work with Vray 3.0.

Let us know if it the issue still persists even if with the new License Server.

Server is update and running, the problem persist

When you open the license server web page, do you see the 3.0 licenses?

Hi Vlado, yes (not with the vray 3.0 name), it says 1interface license and 9 render license.

What do you mean not with the V-Ray 3.0 name?

Then you need to update the license server itself too.

How so?, i updated with the file the beta program send me

I had to update the WiBu drivers. Once I did that, everything was good.

- remove dongle
- uninstall WiBu drivers
- download latest drivers from their website
- installed drivers and reboot
- plug in dongle and make sure it finds it okay
- start vrlservice and all was good

What happens if you try to render? Do you get an error message in the V-Ray message log? If yes, what is it?

Would it be possible to run a remote session on your machine in order to find out what exactly is the issue ?
If yes please send remote-session-request to support@chaosgroup.com and include a link to this thread.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.
