Steps
Click any image to view it in higher resolution.
Visit the Free Trial Page
Go to the V-Ray Trial Page and click Start your trial under the product you would like to try. You can choose whether your license is Named or Floating, whether you want the Solo or Collection product bundle, and if you want the subscription to be monthly or annual. To learn more, see: Chaos Suite offerings.
Complete the Checkout Process
Enter your email address and billing details, and complete the checkout process.
Billing starts automatically after the free trial. Cancel before it ends to avoid getting billed.
Activate your Chaos Account (non-registered users)
If you already have a Chaos account, you can skip this step.
After completing the checkout process, you will receive an account setup email from Chaos. Use the link in the email to set a password and activate your account.
Download and Install V-Ray
2. Here, again, click the Download button next to the newly acquired V-Ray subscription.
3. On the Download page, select your Maya and OS versions and download. When the download is complete, run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
To learn more about the installer and its options, see Installation Process.
Log in To Use the Product
When you open up Maya and start a render with V-Ray, a pop-up window appears. Click Sign in. Once you are signed in, you can use V-Ray with your trial license, and the pop-up window in Maya disappears.
You can now use V-Ray for Maya on your system. You can confirm this from the V-Ray > Licensing > Chaos account window.
A successful activation switches the Sign in button to the Sign out button.
Alternatively, you can also check the status of your license in the Chaos License Server.
If you wish to cancel the subscription, you can do so from the Active Products page of the my.chaos website. The Cancel subscription link is located next to the Auto renewal status. Click on the link, fill out the questionnaire, and you will disable the auto-renewal. You can continue using the trial until its expiration date, but it will be removed from your account and will not renew after that.Cancelling the Subscription
