Installing Chaos Scans

...

Chaos Scans does not need to be installed and separately as it is already automatically installed with the typical V-Ray installation. However, to use a Scans material in a scene, a separate license for the Chaos Scans plugin must be available through your USB dongle or Online license account for rendering.

License Setup

...

Chaos Scans is licensed the same way V-Ray and uses either the the Online Licensing System (alternatively, for older versions - hardware dongle based license).

or the new Online Licensing System. Those who already have a dongle for V-Ray will have their Scans license added to their existing dongle which can be updated easily, as shown in the next section of this page. Those with existing Online Licenses will have the Scans license added to their accounts. Online Licensing is outlined below for your information.

Updating an Existing Dongle

...

If you 're have additional Scans licenses to an existing USB dongle, it will require reprogramming with a new license file. For more details on how this is done, please see the Dongle Reprogramming page.
