Net Render Problem: Different Version of Client and Server

[Björn Marl]

You are trying the downloadable updater for 9.603 or 9.521 on a 9.102?
This simply can not work. 9.5 was a paid upgrade and you will need the installation CD.
After upgrading your 9.102 to 9.507 with the CD you can then apply the latest updater 9.603 to get the latest version running.
Any attempt to mix a 9.102 installation with the 9.521 or 9.603 online updaters will result in garbage.
In your case i would start from scratch with th 9.0 CD (and all modules that came with it), then apply the 9.5 CD (and new modules if you got them) and then the downloaded 9.603 updater. If you have MoGraph you can install that last.

Thanks again, well, that’s pretty much what I am doing, and what I did to get the production machine up and running. But I run into an install problem when going from 9.5 to 9.6 on my coworkers machine, as it wants serials, which I enter, and then I have two machines with the same numbers and the client barfs on that.Does your 9.5 CD give you the option to just install the net render client? Mine does not, but it’s a homemade copy left here by the last person who sat in this seat. I can’t find the original. I just have the original V9 with docs and whatnot. Well, maybe when 9.7 or 10 comes out I can sort this out…

If you only installed Net with the original 9.0 CD the 9.5 CD should only upgarde that and not add the main program.
If you need replacement CDs just contact Maxon.
