Understanding the V-Ray License Server The V-Ray license server (OLS) shows the status of your V-Ray licences, and is the same for whichever V-Ray product(s) you have. Go to localhost:30304 in your web browser to find the licence server if it is installed on your computer. Ensure the license server (sesinetd) and the client program (hserver) are running. If the server daemon does not start If connecting to a remote license server, make sure your local machine matches the allowed subnet for the licenses on the server. Also make sure that the local machine (client) can connect to the license server on TCP port 1715. Hi have you tried to start the vrlservice manually.
