Dear Corona Renderer team,
some time ago I have posted my questions about licenses for chaos scatter, because now it has cross platform functionality, and it can work with corona and vray.
My original post was before announce of vray6 beta, where chaos scatter also comes in bundle. And at that time there was also no separate section for chaos scatter in chaos license server. I don't know if there is some difference between corona8 and vray 6 CS editions, right now I am using chaos scatter from corona renderer 8 and have always license issues.
I have:
- vray next- 5 licenses
- vray 5- 2 licenses
- corona renderer- 2 licenses (at the moment ;)
The problem is that Chaos Scatter does not recognize any Vray license at all. We bought 2 x corona , chaos scatter recognize also 2 licenses in his pool.
If I start some scene in 3ds max 2022 where I use chaos scatter in vray - one chaos scatter license is gone
If I start another scene(at the same time) in 3ds max 2019 where I also use chaos scatter in vray - second license is gone
Same time, Chaos license server shows that all 2 licenses for corona are not in use.
It this normal? Because right now this license issue makes the usage of Chaos Scatter in cross platform mode almost impossible :(
As I understand, chaos scatter should have 5+2+2 licenses - all corona and vray products which I currently have, isn't it ?
Please halp.
Many thanks in advance
Hi, sorry to disappoint you, but it seems that you just tried using Scatter with V-Ray too early. Please note that currently:
Chaos Scatter works with Corona 8. It does not work with Corona 7 and older. A Chaos Scatter license is provided with a Corona 8 license, but not with licenses of older Corona versions.
Chaos Scatter works with V-Ray 6 (to be released soon). It does not work with V-Ray 5 and older. A Chaos Scatter license is provided with V-Ray 6, but not with licenses of older V-Ray versions.
Licensing issues when using both Corona and V-Ray will be addressed soon so that Scatter will be usable in "cross-platform mode".
In your post you wrote that you have V-Ray Next and V-Ray 5 licenses. It is not expected for Chaos Scatter to work in this case, unless you only use it with Corona 8.
So this issue should be resolved really soon.
