This problem here is the same. Maybe it helps.
It's realated to not having a active license in the license server.

The solution is to sign into the Chaos License Server first, and only then start 3ds Max and set Corona as your active renderer.
Here is how to do it:
- Close 3ds Max
- Open this link in your internet browser http://localhost:30304/
- Sign in with your Chaos account
- You should see a "successful activation" message
- After completing the above steps, start 3ds Max and set Corona as your renderer

For full activation instructions, see: https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4642369149585

Sorry for the inconvenience. We are currently working on fixing this crash with highest priority.
