Can I use Network Rendering with a Node Locked license?

(this could be the dumbest question all day, possibly all week, or longer...) 
Hi!
Long-time Maxwell user/infrequent poster here.
I'm trying to figure out if I'm allowed to use Network Rendering with my license? I purchased in December 2013, whatever was the cheapest then that *wasn't* the student price (which I'd also purchased mebbe 9-10 years previous).
On my Customer Gateway page it is described as "Maxwell Render V3 Suite Node-Locked". I *think* that means I can install and run Maxwell on one computer.
Looking at the current offerings on maxwellrender.com/pricing it shows the lowest-priced option as "Maxwell Render Suite V3 - 1 GUI and 5 render nodes". 5 render nodes!!!
I don't recall seeing that as part of the package I purchased (in late 2013). Was network rendering nodes (5) added sometime after my purchase?
What do I need to do to get network rendering going at my little office? Is there an upgrade path from my old lowest-cost-option-possible license to the new and improved lowest-cost option?
