Thanks for the tip on #1…may give that a try if I have time. As for DLS broken from updates, basically to keep it working, is to not update to the latest drivers and wait until a later DLS version comes out to ensure continued compatability?
As for DLS, would you know if it works with later NVidia architecture such as Lovelace?
I don’t personally use DLS; I’ve got an actual vgpu license.
that said license enforcement is done by the windows/linux driver that’s installed inside of a virtual machine having an attached virtual gpu. The gpu itself isn’t doing license enforcement.
so as you said, the only reason to expect DLS to suddenly stop working is if you install an updated nvidia driver in your VM.
the reason DLS works is that from the perspective of the nvidia windows/linux guest driver it is receiving a valid license from the configured license server. For an nvidia driver update to break that would mean that nvidia is fundamentally changing what constitutes a valid license such that the license given to the vm by DLS is no longer considered valid.
