Title: License activation on two machines
Post by: rue on 2015-07-02, 08:55:11

Good morning,
I have to main machines I am working with - on both machines I have installed my 3dsmax license.
Is there any chance to use corona on my notebook and on my workstation - same way I do with 3dsmax?
One license - two machines.
I'm travelling a lot and use my Dell Precision but working in my office I prefer to work on a Workstation.

3dsmax 2014-2016, corona box  subscription

kind regards

Rue

Hi Rue.

Short answer is no, if you want that kind of mobility you will need the SaaS license, I wished this but the box licenses is not though for this, there are some advantages that remains for the SaaS license.

Cheers

Hi,
thank you for the info:

"The Box License is rehostable, but only in some special cases like permanently
changing workplace or reinstalling system. This process is not automatic - you will need to contact us."

I take it as a "NO" :-(

Am I right that I can manually deactivate (remove) my Workstation license on machine 01,
remove Render Node license on machine 02 and reactivate the licenses respectively again on the other machine?

The process is not automatic, you would have to contact our support. So we recommend buying FairSaaS license.

I wish you could change this small detail in BOX license, at least to be able to work in the workstation and in the laptop :P

as I don't want to start a discussion about Box vs FairSaaS license ...

"I wish you could change this small detail in BOX license, at least to be able to work in the workstation and in the laptop :P"

would be appreciated
