This page covers the basics of licensing Chaos Scans and its compatibility with V-Ray and Corona.


## **Overview**

---

[Chaos Scans plugin](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VRSCANS/pages/127598836/Technical+FAQ#WhatisChaosScansplugin?) is available with both V-Ray and Corona installations and allows the use of Chaos Scans materials downloaded from the [Chaos Scans Material Library](https://download.chaos.com/vrscans) and the **[Cosmos Browser](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COSMOS)**. 

Starting with V-Ray 6, rendering Scanned Materials no longer requires an additional render license. In earlier versions of V-Ray, a separate license is required to render Scanned Materials; otherwise, images render with a watermark.

Starting with V-Ray 7 Update 1 and Corona 12 Update 2, full UI access to the Scans material is provided.

With the latest V-Ray and Corona versions, Scans materials can be downloaded directly from the Cosmos Browser, edited, and rendered without a separate license.
