Render Farm latest build

[Peter Milner]

Does the latest build of the Render Farm software (344) work with nXt build 318?

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

Does it give an error msg. when it fails?  Is there an event log entry?

[Peter Milner]

No. The icon pops up in the system tray for a fraction of a second and then disappears.

I can't find any event log, though I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for.

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

Same place you found the event long before.  Control Panel->System and Security->Administrative Tools->View Event Logs should work.  Look at Windows Logs->Application  look for something very recent.

[Peter Milner]

I can't see anything there relating to nXt apart from the installation.

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

Something else is up.  Can you install and run on one of the nodes that was working before? 

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

We can work on this tomorrow if you like.  I can get in a little earlier.

[Peter Milner]

Yes. Got to go now.

All versions run on two of the nodes, but only build 315 works on the other two.

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

This is very likely an authorization problem-- two is the limit for a free farm.  We'll get it figured out.

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

OK-- I did, in fact, find an authorization problem.  Try this one when you get back in and let me know:

Spot on!

Well done Roy, that did the trick.

It makes sense as I did notice that when I launched the ones that worked it said (Evaluation copy) or something like that in the header bar.

Thank you.

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

Thanks-- I'll assume we're good to go for now (I'll put the link on the website(s)-- you don't need to bother-- it will be exactly the same file.)

[Peter Milner]

Yes, it's all running fine now.
