why it says me: Upload the Activation request file (.csr) that belongs to the license server you want to activate.

How can I activate the license?

I am going to wait for a proper solution by the Coronarender team. I am sure they will soon come up with something.

So... I have a local license server working on my LAN - successfully authenticated with Chaos to get my available licences (1 Full Corona + 3 Render Nodes) - so now a bit confused. I have all my Team Render clients pointed at the local server with the xml file method. So unless I'm mistaken - I would have thought TR client would have grabbed a Render Node license? It's pulling a full license instead?

[TomG]

TR would not require a GUI license, just Render Node licenses. If something not working as expected, maybe best to contact support with the email address being used for your Chaos account (you should be able to check that yourself too, see what GUI and Render Nodes you have, which are in use, etc)

[Philw]

I've done exactly that - the feedback/status in the license server matches my findings in that a full license is activated in TR client. Should I not be clicking "Activate License" in the Licensing popup in the TR Client Corona prefs?

[Philw]

Ah - That was it - no need to activate - the Node licences are pulled on demand once a job starts.

[TomG]

Glad to hear all is resolved!

Any news for the Mac m1 users. To my knowledge the latest daily build with the new licence system does not work yet.

[Core2000]

Please don't! Why did you replace a simple system with a complicated one? This is similar to what we know from Autodesk. The new licensing makes everything much more complicated.

It was so simple, about the registration. Once a license server is in play, there are always problems. Please leave the old way of licensing!

I would like to say that we are tech-savvy and very familiar with the technology. From experience, it takes hours to get such a license started.

Currently the server remains offline and we do not get it running despite the instructions.

hello developers! is no one here? You can't upload a new dailybuild and ignore us if the licensing doesn't work out. :)

[frv]

Would it be an idea to have the daily builds with the functioning license system until the new license system is ready.
