Title: [solved] multiple versions...
Post by: Naxos on 2016-12-15, 21:53:47

Hello there,

I'm planning to go from 1.4 to 1.5, but i know there are some subtles differences...
So my question is quite simple : can i install both 1.4 and 1.5 and simply choose the one i need in the 3dsmax's renderer drop list ?

I've started some scenes some months ago (version 1.4), and i'd like to finish the project with 1.5, without any bad surprise, so i'd like to test...

I've installed 3dsmax 2017 and Corona 1.5.2... activated... ok.
And i've kept 3dsmax 2016 with corona 1.4 for testing purposes, but i could not activate 1.4, i guess once 1.5 is activated, i can't activate another one.. even if on the same system...

Any help would be nice.

Regards.

I think that I have already answered on this one in our internal support system, but here is the answer again so that others can see it:

-There are ways to run two (or more) different versions of Corona:

-There should be no problems with licensing, since any Corona version uses the same activation method, there should be even no need to re-activate anything. If the license was already activated - just install the other version, run it, hit render.
