Vred cluster licenses.. doubt

Anonymous — Wed, 30 May 2018 16:23:35 GMT

Hi everyone We have recently configured a LINUX cluster with 192 cores for VRed Raytraincing cluster, at our environment we have 7 Vred Pro licenses too for ecah workstation, but when we submit a job to the cluster for example 32 cores, all nodes up and running, but at the VRed windows display us the AUTODESK logo, like if we don't have more licenses and only at the licences server display us other 2 users without use of cluster plus the user test using the cluster, my doubt,.. for VRed cluster, is necesary other kind of linceses? or is necesary buy more licenses? any comment will is welcome!!

I would let the autodesk people respond with an official answer but my understanding is if each of your machines you are using to cluster with have a Vred Pro license installed and activated, then you should be able to cluster from one machine using all those other machines just fine (and no watermark)

Is each machine able to checkout a license? You could do this by logging into each machine and trying to open vred pro. Make sure it opens then you know you it is something else causing the problem.

What version of vred pro are you using? 2019?

Gracias Richard!!

let me add more details, our current floting licences are 7 ad teh cluster has been configure for Vred 2018.2 and 2018.4 versions, before when we create a cluster under windows envrionemt (localy) we installed too vred node licences (4) but with this new Linux cluster, when our user test tries to use the cluster all is ok at the linus HPC cluster, detect the correct number of cores and put this info at the cluster configuartion at Vred, run the Raytraicing at the equipment and display autodesk logo.. we checked the cluster and all is ok, our doubt is... is necesary install at the linux cluster those licences Vred Nodes or we needs add more Vred licences, because for teh test only use 3 licences (inlcuded the Cluster user test) and detect us the software this logo display (like we don't have more licences) this is our doubt!!

Thanksfor yours comments
