@msupport Many thanks for your write-up! Have you experienced any issues communicating with the NVIDIA license server?

@Tristis-Oris
The driver version 17.1 worked for me, 17.2 and 17.3 crashed the Windows drivers

i have followed the documentation however for some reason the VMs wont power on with a vGPU profile attached. We are testing with NVidia M10 GPUs. I'm using xcp-ng 8.3 and NVidia host driver 17.1, also tried 17.2 and 17.3

This is the error
