3DELIGHT 4.0 is available for download. Here is a list of the most important
improvements included in this release:
Multiprocessing
3DELIGHT is now able to render a single image using multiple processors
located on a single computer or on remote computers or a combination of
both. This powerful feature makes it possible to distribute rendering of
a single image on a render-farm without the need for external software.
See http://www.3delight.com/ZDoc/3delight_35.html#SEC69
Performance
Loading speed and memory usage for complex scenes has been further
improved. Additionally, improvements to the shading system yields an
overall 20% increase in rendering speed for complex scenes. This is the
first step of a continuing optimization of the shading system.
Other features
* Rendering times are now reported in the statistics with detailed
information for each part of the rendering process. This eases the
identification of performance issues.
* Lightweight particles are now correctly shaded using surface and
lightsource shaders.
* Motion blur of RiAttributes is now properly handled.
Shader Compiler
The shader compiler `shaderdl' now supports variable size arrays. Some
optimization options have been moved from O3 to O2 for better code
generation. Compilation time has been improved for large shaders.
Thanks,

My system is a Win2000 pc.
I received correcly license.dat,
I inserted it in %DELIGHT% directory,
I updated rendermn.ini with the line
/3delight/licserver 'myhostname',
I started licserver in a shell with this command:
licserver %DELIGHT%\license.dat,
It seems work correctly (shows this output)
: Aknowledged key for feature '3Delight'
: Maximum number of licenses: 1.
: A machine can run up to 2 processes.
..then in another shell I tried to start renderdl:
I received this output:
3DL SEVERE ERROR: Unable to contact license server (no such file or
directory)
3DL INFO: Make sure the license server is running on 'myhostname'
I saw in licensing.pdf, this kind of problem, in my case
hostname is correct, AND license server seems active in another shell
(its visible in task manager windows: licserver.exe)
I dont know how resolve the problem or
maybe I done something wrong?..
Tanks for your help

Is your machine really named 'myhostname' ?
Also, you should not be using quotes in the rendermn.ini file. It
should look like:
/3delight/licserver myhostname
If none of this works, try removing the line from rendermn.ini. I think
it will default to trying for a local server but I need to check that.

sure, it is exactly that I have done..

I tried, and simply the render starts, with whatermarks and
the sentence that asks for rendermn.ini completion.

In a pure one-machine environment (i.e. licserver and renderer
always on same machine) you can as well use
/3delight/licserver localhost
(works for me at least)
One thing I noticed: the network interface must be active (i.e. under
WinXP you need a network link up state) in order to provide the
MAC address to licserver. A bit annoying on standalone or mobile PCs.

I noticed this happened with 4.0 version of licutils,
with current version (4.02) seems work even without
active network.
from CHANGES.html:

Fixes
Improved licutils hostid compatibility on windows systems.
