V-Ray License Server - Online Licensing Not Working

V-Ray License Server - Online Licensing Not Working

When accessing the V-Ray Online License Server (OLS) at http://localhost:30304/, you will see an orange or red light next to 'Online Licensing' if it isn't working correctly.

To fix this, first check that the computer you are using is connected to the internet, and there are no firewalls blocking port 30304.
If you have used proxy settings, you can also reset these to their defaults by going to Settings > Reset to Defaults using the menu button at the top right of the OLS.

If online licensing is still not working, a clean install usually fixes the issue. To do this:

MAC
  1. Navigate to Applications > Chaos > VRLService > uninstall. Double click the Uninstall icon and enter your mac's password (if required) and follow the instructions of the uninstall wizard.



  1. Once complete, right click on Finder then on the menu at the top of the screen select Go --> Go to Folder. A popup window will appear.
    1. Type /Users/YourUsername/.ChaosGroup and press the Go button.
    2. If for any reason this does not work follow the path manually and when in Your Username folder press Shift + Command + . (Full stop/period) to show hidden folders and you will see the .ChaosGroup Folder.
