I’ve just installed the new Beta, but I’m being told there is no license. I’ve checked the license server and there is no license server. We use online licensing so am I correct in thinking it should update automatically?
Cheers
So.. if I have lic for 3.6, I can run this beta, right?
Have applied and downloaded the beta. but need an answer to a question being asked in other parts of the forum. Since I have a commercial licence for 3.6??? will it be possible to install this beta and use either… Reason I ask, is since I use Vray commercially and also have things like Forest Pack Pro and Railclone etc installed, which I need and due to changes in the SDK Vray 4 is not (at present compatible with them) it would be a disaster to install Vray 4??? and find I can no longer switch back to 3.60.04, for work…
The only way to run two versions of Vray is to use two versions of 3ds Max. We are using 3.6 on 2017 and Next on 2018
I followed the link I got in my email (****) and then logged in via our account (in this case “****”). I’ve checked the username on the OLS and it’s “****”. I will check with our IT guy about it.
I’m not using 2018 for production so I thought I’d install V4 (aka Next) onto that.
This is the first time I’m playing a Beta Tester role, so I’m not too sure where to post issues (is there a place to send issues found ?).
So far I’ve gotten this far;
On startup of 3ds Max 2018 I get an issue with Phoenix…
Then there’s the error within VRayUtils.ms
Hey,
Hopefully there will be Phoenix nightlies for V-Ray 4 tomorrow 
Until then you can install the Scanline version of Phoenix as a workaround.
Cheers!
Hey again - the Phoenix nightlies for V-Ray 4 are out
I also get an error when I installed vray 4.0 but for Multiscatter. Though when MAX started it seamed to be working fine. Will vray or MS update this? I should report to them probably too. It’s also error 127 on MultiScatterVray.dlo
we just released new version of MultiScatter with V-Ray Next suport http://forum.rendering.ru/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1411
I’ve 2 question about licensing.
1- I have 1 interface node and 6 render node. I’m applying for the beta, when you ask me “how many licensing” should I choose: 1 or 7?
2- Beta for 3dsmax uses online licensing, so if I switch to that mode, the dongle will not working anymore?
Thanks in advance
Hello,
You can specifically explain that you want 1 GUI and 6 Render nodes for the V-Ray Next Beta.
You can use both Online and Dongle licensing simultaneously. The dongle licensing will continue to be available when you receive your Beta licenses via the Online licensing system.
I’ve tried to write it specifically, but the webpage gives me this error message: “Licenses quantity is not a number and Licenses quantity must be greater than 0”. So it seems it accepts just a numbers and not letters
For this Beta we give 2 extra render nodes with each workstation license package - if you request 2 packages you should have 6 render node licenses. If you render on your master machine too - you can get 3 workstation packages for additional render nodes. If - after that the number of render nodes is not enough - send us an email at sales@chaosgroup.com
Thank you very much.
Now it’s clear.
