Show Vray version in extra info

Has anyone got a script that can find out which version of vray is installed on each slave machine?
Running deadline 9.070

I have tried to install the event script for softwareaudit.py but it is for a quite old version of deadline and a lot has changed since then.

You can call vray.exe -version and capture the output. Our Vray is deploy on server but you can find the vray.exe on each machine if you install it locally.

The plugin should still work there. The plugin and event API hasn’t changed significantly since 8.0 was released.

The two ways of doing that:

How did you copy it over? Reading the README, it’s not obvious that you have to copy over the entire directory to your “Custom” folder.

Hey Edwin, thanks for these links. I must have picked up a really old version of that SoftwareAudit script as this one looks different. I will test this out tomorrow when im back in the office.
