Once the Vray license server is installed and running on the same machine, if you want to access the license server, you can do one of the following: Open a browser and type http: // localhost: 30304. V-Ray uses a 'floating' licensing system which basically means you obtain a license through the V-Ray License Server, which will need to be installed onto your machine. Chaos Group now offers online licensing for their products, which means there is no need for any physical device to be plugged in to your device.

Overview

License Server version 5.0 provides licensing of the Chaos Group products without the need for any physical devices to be plugged in your machine. It allows you to easily activate more licenses right after the purchase and provides a way to stay offline while using your products when you need to. It is still compatible with existing USB dongles, in case you need to use your licenses in this way.

Information

Interface

The License Server's interface is accessible in a web browser. See the License Server Interface page for more information.

Installation

The installer is fairly straight forward and easy to run, but if you need help, please see the Installing the License Server page for details on the process. This includes using your Chaos Group account to access your purchased licenses from anywhere online.

Activation

To activate your licenses, go to127.0.0.1:30304 using your web browser and click SIGN IN from the ONLINE LICENSING menu. You will then be prompted to enter your username and password. Once the activation is successful, you will be able to see the list of your available licenses on the License Server home page.



Offline Activation and License Usage - Recommended for Machines Without Internet Access

You can still activate your License Server even without Internet connection. To do this you will need to download an activation request file from your License Server. Use another machine with Internet connection to upload the file to my.chaosgroup.com where you log in with your Chaos Group account and generate an activation file. Upload the activation file to your License Server to activate it.

See also the Borrowing Licenses for Offline Use page for additional information.

USB Dongle usage

The Licensing system allows you to use seats associated with your Chaos Group account easily from anywhere you can log into over the internet. If you also have a USB dongle with Chaos Group product licenses attached to your computer, you can utilize those available licenses with the License Server. For more details on this process, please see the Dongle usage page.

When using a dongle license connected to the License Server you are only able to access the dongle licenses on the machine that the dongle is connected to. You are unable to access dongle licenses over the internet on another machine logged into the License Server.

Settings

In most situations, adjusting the Settings for the online licensing system is not necessary. But if you need to adjust something like your connection settings because you're using a Proxy server, you can get to these through the drop-down menu in the top right corner of the License Server webpage and choosing Settings. For more details on what settings are adjustable from this area, please see the Advanced Settings page.

Updating from License Server 3.0 to 5.0

Virtual dj serial key free download. If you are updating your licensing system from the previous setup to the new online system, no changes are required on the workstation or application side of your software. The online system replaces the existing dongle functionality without any additional steps needed on your part. There is no need to use the Change License Settings application to reconfigure your setup. If you have purchased online licenses, these can be activated for online usage in the new system right away.

The username and password credentials in the Change your license settings tool window are not the same as your online credentials used to log into your account at my.chaosgroup.com and activate version 5.0 of the License Server.

This post deals with installing V-Ray on your local computer. I’ll write another one soon for network installations.

Step 1: Your dongle

You’ll receive a dongle. Put this to the side for the moment but don’t lose it.

Step 2: Drivers

The USB dongle is what’s called a Wibukey. It’s something that normally your computer won’t be able to talk to. So you need to install the Wibukey drivers, which aren’t included in Windows so you need to download them from here: Wibukey Drivers

Step 3: Installing Wibukey

Install the Wibukey driver. Follow the installer - no extra information will be needed for the installer.

Step 4: The dongle

Insert USB dongle.

Step 5

Start Wibukey server:

Go to Start > Applications > Wibukey > Network Server. Start this program and a Wibukey icon will show up in the system tray. Right click on this and… start server.

You’re done with Wibukey now. On to V-Ray.

Step 6: Getting your V-Ray plugin

V-Ray is a plugin renderer for different software packages like NUKE, Maya, 3ds Max etc. But where it differs is that you need to be running a local license server in order to use it.

Logon to your Chaos Group download area (https://accounts.chaosgroup.com/?return_to=https://login.chaosgroup.com/login.php) and download the V-Ray plugin for your corresponding software (i.e. if you’re using NUKE download V-Ray for NUKE)

Step 7: Installing the license server and plugin

Before anything else you’ll need to install the license server (if you don’t already have it).

Run the installer you just downloaded from Chaos Group’s website and click through the dialogue. You’ll be given the choice of “standalone” or “full install”. If you need to install the server go for full install, otherwise choose standalone.

Step 8: Run the license server

Again you won’t need any extra information or configuration. Once finished you’ll find “Launch V-Ray License Server” in the start menu under Chaos Group. Run this program and you’ll see it pop up in the system tray.

Step 9: Check the license server is working

Once the license server is running open a web browser to check that everything is in order.

With the dongle is plugged into your local machine go to https://localhost:30304

If you’re having trouble accessing the webpage it’s normally a sign that it’s being blocked by the firewall. We normally disable firewalls but for the security conscious you can add an exception in the firewall by opening port 30304. Keep your eyes open for another blog on firewall exceptions.

Once you’re on the webpage click “Get server status”. You should see something like this:

Step 10: Open your software

Open your software package of choice (NUKE, Maya, 3ds Max etc.) and you should see a new menu called “V-Ray”.
If you’re in NUKE it will in your sidebar at the bottom. For Maya and 3ds Max it will be a dropdown in the menu bar.

Step 11: Render
