Hi Mental Ray users and lovers,

over the course of the past 12 months, we have converted most of you, the existing and eligible Mental Ray customers, to a perpetual licensing model. That is giving you plenty of time for finishing current Mental Ray projects and for transitioning to alternative renderers in the coming years.

As some of you have noticed, the NVIDIA Licensing Portal was shut down earlier this month. That means, the option to manage your license tokens and generate license files yourself is not available any longer. We are working on a different solution that will allow you to move Mental Ray to another machine easily. We are going to announce any news here, on this blog.

Please do not hesitate to contact arc-licensing(at)nvidia.com in case of licensing issues or requests.

Happy (and uninterrupted) rendering!
