License Server

License Server
Name
Email
Message

The optional License Server manages Vue Infinite and Vue xStream licenses and issues temporary licenses to the computers on your network. You can have Vue installed on all the computers of your network, while only a subset of these computers will actually run it at any given time. Each license can be used on multiple seats (but only one at a time): the License Server is responsible for issuing temporary licenses as they are requested.

When a Vue license is installed on the License Server, it is not linked to the computer using it, but to the License Server computer itself. This is the best option for studios that use several computers in a network, because registration and license management will be centralized using the e-on License Server application.

In Vue, there no distinction between a nodelocked and a floating license. A license automatically becomes floating when it is installed on a License Server. You cannot install the same license on a specific computer (nodelocked license) as well as on a License Server (floating license).

The E-on License Sever can now also be run as a service, avoiding the need of logging onto a user account to launch it.

RenderCows allow the network rendering of Vue scenes only.

By default, Vue Infinite and Vue xStream ship with the ability to render on 5 RenderCows. On top of this, additional RenderCows can be purchased separately from the main application, in packs of 5 or 25.

RenderCows are managed using HyperVue, Vue’s internal network rendering manager. They cannot be managed by any other kind of network rendering manager (such as Qube, BackBurner. You need RenderNodes for this, see below).

RenderCows can be used with both Vue Infinite and Vue xStream, however, in the case of Vue xStream, the RenderCows will not be able to render integrated Vue scenes (xStream scenes). They will only render Vue content.

If you need to render integrated xStream scenes (.max, .ma or .mb, .c4d, .lws, .scn), you will have to use Vue xStream RenderNode instead.

Vue Infinite RenderNodes supersede the Vue Infinite RenderBull.

The Vue Infinite RenderNode license will enable you to use a 3rd party network rendering application to manage and distribute the rendering of Vue scene files (.vue) over a network of computers.

The Vue Infinite product does not include any RenderNode nodes. Vue Infinite RenderNode nodes can be purchased individually or in bulk. The price for one node of Vue Infinite RenderNode is $99.

You should contact our sales department for any order above 5 nodes to benefit from a large quantity discount. (largequantity@e-onsoftware.com)

Vue Infinite RenderNode licenses require the use of the e-on License Server - $495 (this is mandatory). If you have already purchased the e-on License Server with your Vue license, there is no need to purchase it again.

RenderNodes are sold on a “per workstation” basis (i.e., one per machine, and not one per cpu).

Example: for a network of 50 Quad core computers, you will need to get one 50 node license.
