Render Setup Dialog launches slowly.

Is there a trick to make the Render Setup dialog box display faster when using Vray with 3dsMax? Right now it takes 10 seconds, maybe up to 15-18 for the dialog box to appear after I enable it. I am guessing it has something to do with locating the license on the server, but I thought I would query the question, to see if anyone else had this problem, or came up with a solution to the problem.

Check the licence manager on the server http://servername:30304 and see if it gives you any hints, at one point i was having similar issues, where the machine was not finding the primary licence server, and was looking to the secondary (another coworkers machine) and taking a while to resolve it.

 

Most of the time i get this its because it can't find the licence at all, and i find myself re-placing my dongle to fix. (Cavaet: it was one of the first dongles, literally as i picked it up at sig one year, so it may be due to long term dongle-death.)

 

I also tend to have issues with the windows connection limit and the vray licence server of late, but only since installing RT, and mainly because the licences are on individual (Non server) machines so they get hit pretty hard for requests from the farm. poor initial choice on my part.

Hmmm... everything seems in order. I only have information in the primary license server, and nothing in the secondary , and tertiary. Though there is a 0 in the port number slot.

 

I tried putting the primary license server in all the slots, but that didn't seem to speed things up either.

 

Maybe it is just the lag of my machine. Given that we probably have probably 150 people using Revit during the day the server can lag at times. Though I wouldn't imagine Vray would have to do much more than ping the server to see the license, then go about its mary way.

 

If I ping the license server through command prompt, it takes less than 1ms.
