Overview If you are running the V-Ray license server on a different machine, you need to tell V-Ray where to look for it. This page describes how to do that on the different operating systems V-Ray can be installed under.

Jump to Enabling Online Licensing - Follow these steps to enable online licensing through the License Server Controller: In the command line, type vrlctl. Enter the username and password of the ChaosGroup account you used to apply for the beta, trial or purchase of V-Ray or Phoenix FD. Once the activation is successful, your license server home page will display a list of your available licenses. There's also an option to fill in your ChaosGroup credentials during the license server installation.
Windows You can change the license settings of V-Ray which specify the location of the license server. To do that run the V-Ray license client configuration utility from Windows Start All Programs Chaos Group V-Ray host app Licensing Change V-Ray client license settings or Windows Start All Programs Chaos Group V-Ray host app Change license settings (the path may be different depending on the host application). This will show you the window below, where you can specify the IP address of the machine that is running the V-Ray License Server. Please do not change the connection port that is set by default to 30304. For example, if the license server machine has an IP address of 10.0.0.100, you have to put that address in the “License server” field, under the tab “Primary license server”. Mac OS X Depending on the host application, the setvrlservice program is found either in /Applications/ChaosGroup/V-Ray/host app/bin/ or /Applications/path to host app/vray/bin/ directory (the path may differ depending on the host application that V-Ray is installed for). Run setvrlservice and use the -server= server name or IP and -port= port number options to change your license settings, w here server name or IP is the IP address or name of the machine where the V-Ray license server is running without the enclosing ' and ' characters.
The default port number is 30304. For example: $ sudo /Applications/ChaosGroup/V-Ray/MODOx64/bin/setvrlservice -server=10.0.0.100 -port=30304 or $ sudo /Applications/Autodesk/maya2017/vray/bin/setvrlservice -server=10.0.0.100 -port=30304 where servername or IP is the IP address or name of the machine where the V-Ray license server is running, without the enclosing ' and ' characters (note that the entire command is just one line). Note: This setting is per user; if there are many users running V-Ray on the machine, you will need to set the license settings for each of them. Linux Depending on the host application, the setvrlservice program is found either in /u sr/path to host app /vray/bin or /usr/ChaosGroup/V-Ray/host app/bin/ directory (the path may differ depending on the host application that V-Ray is installed for). Run setvrlservice and use the -server= server name or IP and -port= port number options to change your license settings, w here server name or IP is the IP address or name of the machine where the V-Ray license server is running without the enclosing ' and ' characters. The default port number is 30304. For example: $ sudo /usr/autodesk/maya2017/vray/bin/setvrlservice -server=10.0.0100 -port=30304 Note: This setting is per user; if there are many users running V-Ray on the machine, you will need to set the license settings for each of them.
