It sounds like the product isn't fully registered or unlocked to me. Watermarks are usually stuck into images that are created with a trial or learning version of a software. HTH |

RJeff, you're license file is missing. Did save the original e-mail with your license? |

I saved the lic.dat file into the 3delite directory like it said to. |

Well yes..you have to have a license installed and the server running in order to render with dribble. I can render...it just puts the water mark on there. |

If I forget to start the Server or the license isn't present THEN I get the watermark. That is why Parva and Prodigy suggested checking both. So your laptop has access to the internet when you start up? You obtained a license for the laptop? The server is running before starting TS?
Those three things not done will give you the Watermark. |

if so and you still get watermark -> have you entered your PC/servername in the rendermn.ini? |

When I had your problem I didn't realise that you have to leave the commandline shell (dosbox) with the license server running, in order to make it work. It's not like fire n forget. I think that was the only issue I had. |

Does the content of your rendermn.ini look something like this?
/3delight/licserver yourpcnamehere
Do you have any other rendermn.ini on your harddisk, maybe in the windows directory?
Do you have C:\> licserver "%DELIGHT%/license.dat" put in your autoexec.bat?
Has the name of your PC changed? |

I could not get it to work until I moved it to the same drive as TS was on. do you have it installed on a different drive?
here is the contents of my file with the computer name changed. localhost did not work for me, so I had to put in the computer name... I did it exactly as it appears including caps. also, there were 2 "boxes" after the computer name, and I left them there in case it was characters that were needed, but not displayable in notepad.

# License server
# Uncomment the line below once you have a license server running on the

# 'licutils hostname'. On most setups, it is possible to skip this configuration
