Beginning in July 2022, Chaos will no longer be selling application-based licenses. Instead, they will be moving to offer their suite of V-Ray products as three, tiered, products. V-Ray Solo, V-Ray Premium, and V-Ray Enterprise. Below we will explain the changes in further detail so you can see which option is right for you. 

V-Ray Solo

For customers looking for the most cost-effective way to use V-Ray on a single computer, Solo is a great option. This node-locked V-Ray license can be used to set up and render on a single machine using any supported host integration. Access to 3D content on Chaos Cosmos is also included. V-Ray Solo is an excellent choice for those looking to save money without compromising on quality or features. Solo node-locked licenses will be available as monthly, annual, and 3-year subscriptions.

Chaos V-Ray Premium

The Premium tier is the best option for most customers and is comparable to our previous V-Ray Collection offering. With this tier, customers can install V-Ray on any machine and use it with any supported host application. Premium also includes a floating license for Chaos companion products, such as Phoenix, Player, Scans, and Vantage. In addition, it includes a starting pack of 20 free credits for Chaos Cloud rendering and access to the growing Chaos Cosmos content library. Premium floating licenses will be available as monthly, annual, and 3-year subscriptions.

Chaos V-Ray Enterprise

Enterprise is the most cost-effective option for studios and firms that need 5 or more licenses of V-Ray. Customers get all of the benefits of the Premium tier, but priced at a discount for multiple seats. Enterprise floating licenses will be available as annual and 3-year subscriptions.

Chaos V-Ray Education

The Chaos V-Ray Education license is comparable to our previous V-Ray EDU Collection offering and is the best option for all qualifying educational customers - students, educators and educational institutions. With this license, customers can install V-Ray on any machine and use it with any supported host application. Chaos V-Ray Education also includes a floating license for Chaos companion products, such as Phoenix, Player, Scans, and Vantage. In addition, it includes credits for Chaos Cloud rendering and access to the growing Chaos Cosmos content library.

Chaos V-Ray Education floating licenses will be available as annual subscriptions to students, educators and educational institutions. 3-year subscriptions are also available to educational institutions with integrated volume discounts. 

The minimum purchasing quantity for new institutions is 6 licenses. 

10 Chaos Cloud credits are available as part of Chaos V-Ray Education to students and educators. Additional credit packages of 50 and 100 Chaos Cloud credits continue to be available to students and educators at a discounted price. 

Educational institutions are eligible to purchase a custom package of Chaos Cloud credits with a special educational discount.
