Title: DR- license server: config files
Post by: mraw on 2016-07-21, 17:17:22

Guys, sorry to bother you with this. But can maybe someone help me out with this? I already have two render nodes(I'm on Corona1.3 ) and they work fine generally.
I remember I had a tough time and had to do some research to get them reading the license information. It was something about placing a text-file containing my license information?

I'm setting up a new render node and because I'm an old fart I forgot how to do it and I can't find it anymore. The DR-server says something about creating a new config-file and it is not found by the master when I press search 'LAN'.

Any help greatly appreciated!!! thanks.

Here's the post that describes it, should be all you need!

Holler if anything isn't clear.

PS I know the location of that post as I can never remember how to do it myself, since it is something I need to set up rarely :)

Thanks for the quick reply, TomG.
thanks to your link I remembered how I did it for the other nodes. The txt.file was placed in localuser/appdata/blah and I tried to mimic this for the new node.
Dr started fine like:
2016-07-21/17:33:50   DR server started
2016-07-21/17:33:50   Starting UDP socket, local hostname: Xeon-1
2016-07-21/17:33:50   Running Corona DrServer build Nov  3 2015 on ports UDP19666, TCP19668, loopback TCP19667

this looks just like the (working) node
2016-07-21/10:56:22   DR server started
2016-07-21/10:56:22   Starting UDP socket, local hostname: I-7
2016-07-21/10:56:22   Running Corona DrServer build Nov  3 2015 on ports UDP19666, TCP19668, loopback TCP19667

But Xeon-1 still can't be found.
One thing: In the working node's directory there are other files like licensing.log and a token. I remember reading or doing something about a token.

any ideas? thanks

Solved.
After rebooting it worked. I'm using windows for over 20 years now- when I will learn that you have to reboot first each and every time something isn't working as expected?
:)
thanks, TomG.

I got the client rendering, but the drive mapping isn't working.
I will open another thread.
