Chaos V-Ray is the industry-standard software for photorealistic 3D rendering and visualization, used across film, architecture, engineering, and product design. The Chaos V-Ray License Server, also known as the Chaos License Server, is a centralized system that manages access to this powerful suite of tools.
OpenLM provides a comprehensive solution for interfacing with the Chaos V-Ray License Manager. OpenLM Chaos V-Ray monitoring collects, processes, and generates valuable license usage reports, ensuring your high-cost rendering software is utilized efficiently, reducing denials, and supporting crucial business decisions.
Chaos products are sold primarily under two licensing models: Named or Floating. The Chaos License Server manages these licenses using encrypted technology.
The Chaos V-Ray License Server is a centralized system that manages Chaos licenses for V-Ray and other products. It enables users to manage and access licenses for their systems, including facilitating offline usage through license borrowing.
OpenLM provides a robust, centralized mechanism for monitoring the Chaos V-Ray License Manager. This is achieved using the OpenLM Broker, which reads the Chaos V-Ray License Manager log file, compiles the data, and sends it to the OpenLM SLM for processing.
| OpenLM capability | Value for Chaos V-Ray licenses | Supported by OpenLM |
| Real-time usage monitoring | OpenLM collects usage data with a resolution of by second. This is vital for tracking the intense, short bursts of usage typical in rendering environments. | Yes |
| Total no. of licenses | Report the total number of licenses available in your pool. | Yes |
| Historical usage reporting | Processed data generates valuable and reliable reports on historical usage, helping companies analyze trends and make better purchase decisions. | Yes |
| Remote administrative actions | Using the Broker enables the ability to remotely start or stop the license manager service. | Yes |
Note on capabilities: OpenLM’s current integration relies on log file reading, which may limit the direct reporting of Denials, Borrowing, or Expiration Date in the same way as command-line LMs. Usage is reported by seconds.
OpenLM turns the basic data available from the Chaos License Server’s web interface into actionable insights, helping you maximize the utilization of your critical rendering software.
