KeyShot 9.1 Network Rendering Beta Installation and Licensing
A valid KeyShot 9 license is required for testing and sending render jobs to the network. The above installers will update your existing KeyShot 9 Network Rendering installation to 9.1. You can always revert by re-running the installer of KeyShot 9.0.

Note: If you currently are not using Network Rendering, but would like to test the new functionality, then we can issue temporary licenses for testing purposes. Simply generate a license request file using serial LUXIONKEYSHOTTESTING and email it to us at beta@luxion.com. We will then provide a 15-day license.

Please post your questions, issues, renderings and scene examples here: https://www.keyshot.com/forum/index.php?board=109.0

Of course, you may still send email directly to the beta team via beta@luxion.com. Large files may be transferred via keyshot.wetransfer.com.
