Hello,

i have named corona archviz collection license plus 2 render nodes.

my office setup looks as following:
9950X3D - workstation
5950X - node
3970X - node
ryzen mini pc - renderflow server

except the ryzen mini pc corona render and 3ds max is installed on all machines. all machines are windows 11 pro and they can reach other etc. i use this mini pc so that i can turn off my workstation while the rest of the nodes continue to work.

i am a heavy user of pulze renderflow plugin for 3ds max.

most of the time the licensing seems to work although all license servers are set to localhost.

i also saw the used and available nodes in your online license site. but from today on i only see a corona universal license. node licenses are not showing but still work.

the problem occur when the licensing is not working. than renderflow is skipping the job and this can happen with all jobs over night. so nothing happens over night while the computers are running.

rarely i also have problems getting a license for my workstation.

how shall i set it up that everyhing works smoothly and without constant problems?
shall i install and run the chaos license server on that mini pc? its on 24/7. if so, how do i do that and point the nodes and workstation to this server? how does the license server knows which machine is node and which workstationt? can i define that somewhere?
