Activate Corona


Once you've installed Corona for 3ds Max, you need to activate it. The process varies slightly depending on the Corona version you are activating:


Start 3ds Max.

Go to Render Setup > Renderer and set Corona as your active renderer.




If you are not logged into your Chaos account, a notification pops up prompting you to sign in.

Click Sign in.




Sign in with your Chaos email and password.

If you have an active Corona subscription, you are done - your license is now activated! You can just return to 3ds Max and start rendering right away. 




To access the License Server or your Chaos account, go to Render Setup > System > About Chaos Corona/Licensing and select Open license server for access to the Chaos License Server, or Chaos account for access to your account.





For Corona Premium license, and to download the other Chaos Products included (Chaos Phoenix, Chaos Scans, Chaos Player), please visit the Chaos Downloads Page.
