Andrew West Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I am finally getting back to testing VRay again and having the hardest time getting it to install properly. I disabled Norton virus on install. I have downloaded the latest builds on both programs (v8.6). I can kind of get it to work a bit but it only works while Norton is turned off. Launching 8.6 with Norton on immediately crashes the program. I have gone into Norton and allowed the program to access the files. The license server seems to be installed properly but if I try to edit a material I get the same warning each time "License not installed or not configured properly". The program is also killing my computer speed and just doing something like picking a Vray material or editing a light is painfully slow. FYI: windows 7 on dual 10 core Xeon processors. 64 gigs of ram. Could someone please walk me through the installation and licensing on this. I am obviously doing something horribly wrong.

Tech Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 If you can render in formZ, then the license server is working properly. The problem with the material editor is that the V-Ray for formZ plugin directory probably does not have write permissions. (Program Files\formZ 8\plugins\V-Ray for formZ\). Please change the permissions of the directory. We are working on removing this requirement, but thats necessary for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew West Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Tech I am still a bit lost here. The plug in is not located where you suggested. When I installed Vray it created a separate folder (Chaos Group) in my Programs folder. Should this folder be relocated or the plugin be relocated?

Justin Montoya Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I noticed the newest Vray license server 4.5.1 does not work for the FormZ plugin. Reverting back to 4.4.1, fixed it. Does that happen to help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew West Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 Still looking for help here. I have Vray up and running but I still can't use the material editor for Vray materials. Every time I try I get a message saying that I don't have a license or improper configuration. I have some time on my hands and would love to test our Vray but without the material editor I am stuck. Is anyone else experiencing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
