How are you going to connect to the V-Ray license server? – Specifies whether the V-Ray license server will run locally or on another machine. This preference can be changed at any time later on from the V-Ray Setup > V-Ray > About V-Ray > Feedback program settings. The point of this feature is to improve V-Ray's performance and the user experience. What we receive is user preferences on just a few key render settings and the resulting render times. We do not gather scenes, assets, materials, etc. No intelligence property is violated when agreeing to participate in the feedback program.
