License problem with new machine

[artmaknev]

Hope I can get some help, have urgent deadline... my old machine died, I installed corona on new machine but now have problem with DR, only 2 nodes render the other 3 fail (max trying to start then fails, its like a loop, it keeps trying and fails) I had similar problem with vray license, but it is now fixed, so I wonder is it because I installed Corona on new machine and didn't deactivate the license on old machine??

[artmaknev]

solved.
deactivated and reactivated license and also turned on the corona license server, and its working now.

But should I keep turning on license server on every startup?
There are two fields for username and password and no buttons, is this normal?

[Ondra]

yes, that is how it is supposed to look.

To make sure Corona works with as little hassle as possible, I would suggest running the licensing server on every startup, if that is not problem for you.

Is there a way to start it automatically as a windows service on startup?

Everytime I start the license server, do I have to type the username and password each time too?

[Ondra]

service mode is currently not supported - but the second problem is solvable. Create the text file as listed in the server log window in your screenshot

[artmaknev]

So I should make LicensingServerLogin.txt file manually with just email:password, and it should work automatically on startup?

[Ondra]

yes

hi Ondra, I tried it but it doesn't work I still have to start license server manually, its not really a big problem I just thought maybe I am doing something wrong.

But it loads the login, right? Making the application run on startup is trivial: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/run-program-automatically-windows-starts#1TC=windows-7
