V-Ray 2.0 is HERE!!!!
-
I agree that dongles have been around longer than software licensing, but the current dongle tech isn't too bad, and it's certainly less of a headache than the software licensing we have traditionally used in V-Ray for SketchUp. One thing in particular to keep in mind, is that you can share the license across the network, just as you could with the software licensing. Just set the dongle up on a machine on your network, and point your client installation at the machine that has the dongle plugged in.

if I want to Vray in only one computer, I am forced to buy the dongle?
-
yes, it's how we license now. Even on one computer, our old licensing system was terrible. A hardware change, major OS change, or a few other somewhat random factors, could cause your existing software based license to become invalid. With the dongle, it's hassle free. The only downside is that you need to plug it in to a usb port either on your machine, or a machine on your local network.

Losing a port is a problem that can be solved for less that $10.

Anyone know how much the upgrade from the 1.49 license?
-
you'll have to check with your local reseller for an accurate answer. For example: http://vray.com/vray_for_sketchup/buy_vray_2_for_sketchup_upgrade.shtml

Umm..I just noticed something. It seems you no longer have to group faces for displacement to work? Is this really true? Do my eyes deceive me?

This is not true actually. If you don't group it, then the displacement will be applied to all the connecting faces as seen in my example. Note that in this test, my grass has its own displacement map but that has been overridden.

Dude valer. Did you render that in Vray 2.0?
Did you purchase your Vray 2.0? or just downloaded it with demo? -
he has been beta testing through the entire development process, so I would assume it's a 2.0 render.
