1. What is a license key?

License key is an encryption key which will be issued for you upon purchasing of one or more BusyRay licenses. Using your license key you can download and authorize commercial versions of BusyRay.

2. How do I authorize using my license key?

Start 3DS MAX. Choose BusyRay as your production renderer. Go to 'Renderer' page of 'Render Scene' dialog of 3DS MAX. You should have there a 'BusyRay Authorization' rollout as depicted below. Follow instructions of this rollout. After you have pasted authorization code, press 'OK'. If authorization went fine, 'BusyRay Authorization' rollout should disappear and you should be able to render images using BusyRay.

3. Can I authorize without having an Internet access?

Yes. In this case you have to save your request code to a file, go to computer that has Internet access (can be Internet cafe for example), get your authorization code, copy it to a file, return to your computer and feed authorization code to BusyRay.

4. If I change my hardware or software, will BusyRay still work?

BusyRay protection system is sensitive to change of hard drives, processors, memory, network adapters, and reinstall of operating system. After you changed some of these PC parts or reinstalled your operating system, most probably you will be requested to repeat authorization. If the changes of your configuration were not dramatic, you will be allowed to authorize again.
