Licensing
In this step, you can specify whether the license server will run locally or on another machine.
Choose Local if you are using a named license or you connect to an online floating pool.
Choose Remote if you will use a floating license from a Chaos License Server that runs on another machine in your local network.
Please leave the port 30304 unchanged. An alternate License Server can be used for redundancy.
2. After you click the Install button, the wizard uninstalls any previous versions and installs Chaos Player on your machine.
At the end of the installation you can choose to participate in the Chaos feedback program. No intelligence property is violated when agreeing to participate in the feedback program. Chaos does not gather scenes, assets, materials, etc. This preference can be changed anytime by running the installer again. See the Chaos Telemetry page for more details.
