Steps

Start Revit.

Press the Enable V-Ray button.


If you prefer your V-Ray license to be engaged automatically every time when Revit is loaded, use the Obtain License on start-up option.




The first time you use V-Ray, a prompt to log in with your Chaos account may appear. 



Alternatively,

  • Open Revit and go to V-Ray Ribbon > Chaos Account.
  • Select Sign in from this dialog.



  • Enter your Chaos credentials.


You can use your Chaos account credentials.

Your existing Enscape, V-Ray, Corona, Anima or Veras logins are all Chaos accounts and work for all our products.

If you have never had a Chaos account, you can create one at this step.


Chaos Single Sign-On Page

You can close the login page after seeing the confirmation for a successful login.

You can now start using your Chaos product.


Sign in confirmation


You can use the license server that installs automatically with the product to check the availability of your licenses. See how here.

Floating Licenses

Floating Licenses can be shared between multiple users and can be used completely online or within a local network, depending on the setup.

To use an online floating pool, your Administrator needs to add you to their Organization. This sends an automatic email confirmation, which also contains a link you can use to create an account, if you don't have one yet.

After that, you can follow the same activation steps as above to connect to the online floating pool.

  1. Proceed with a default installation.
  2. Sign in with your Chaos Account when prompted.


If you are an Administrator in an Organization, see the Cloud-Based Floating Licensing page for a guide on how to share licenses through the my.chaos portal.

If your organization prefers to centrally manage licenses, enable anonymous device-based access, or deploy licenses within an offline or secure network environment, refer to the License Server Deployment page.


Troubleshooting

If you are experiencing any difficulty installing or running the Chaos License Server, please refer to the Troubleshooting page for possible solutions.


Notes

If you are using V-Ray version 7.0 or earlier, the activation of your license is part of the installation process. At the end of the installation you are prompted to sign in with your Chaos account in the web browser.
