Hi Everyone,

In the most recent daily build we have switched from the legacy licensing to the Chaos licensing. You can find the full changelog (along with a list of current limitations) here: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=33839.msg194990#msg194990

This thread is to post any feedback you have on the new licensing, and we'll be monitoring it closely for the next few days in the case anyone has any issues. As usual, if you have some urgent issue please contact support at: https://support.corona-renderer.com/hc/en-us

Thanks,

Rowan

In the mean time if you come across this please contact support@corona-renderer.com and they will be able to sort this out.
Sorry for an incovience this has caused.

I'm often switching between dailies and latest stable release, sometimes few times during the day. How the new and old licensing systems would work in such situations? Will i need constantly log-in/log-out?

Hi,

During my testing I haven't had to log in or log out of either system (apart from the 1st log in to the new system). They are totally independant of each other so it should be fine.

Thanks,

Rowan

So, I'm having issues. I click on "activate license..." and I get the -197 error.

If I open the Licensing Server only Chaos Vantage is listed under my user.

This started when I upgraded today to latest daily.

Any tips?

Hi,

That's definately incorrect. Let me try and figure out what is going on. Could you email support@corona-renderer.com and they will help you out asap.

Thanks,

Rowan

hi guys
mine says no licences available? 

Just a heads up - i do have an existing perpetual license for vray under the same email address - so not sure if this is conflicting or causing errors?

Hi,

Just a heads up. This seems like a pretty major problem if already 2 of us are reporting it.

And the email response wasn't very promising either, they understood it only affected the CIE...which obviously is not the case.
