if you have bought mxw in beta days you should see 8 full licenses now.
You can upgrade as much as you want one by one to 1 full license or 1 rendernode (only network renderslave - no manager, no studio) license.
Floating means, you can install mxw (full or node) on all machines of your network but only use as much at the same time as you own licenses.

And can licenses which got updated to Render-Node licenses get reconverted to a full license by paying some additional money?

Should we have received the e-mail by now?

Yep!

well that gateway is nice but i'm starting to think that when saying "maxwell 2 will be available soon", that "soon" = as soon as 1.7 reaches SL=30 for someone (like...next year?)...

Thanks mate! I wonder if that means to be able to work on the two machines at any one time I'll have to update at least two licenses?

[kami]

I got one question:
If you have 1 license + 1 node installed on 2 machines.
I work on one machine, start a rendering there, then close studio and continue working on my second machine and start another rendering there.
Does this work? And is this a legitimate use of the license?

[kami]

nicole?
or anyone else?

[Brett Morgan]

Kami, as far as I'm aware as long as you have only one instance of Studio open at a time i dont think this is a problem, or a misuse of your license if you have a +1 license like myself.

Cheers

May I repeat this question too? Thanks and sorry if I missed an explanation elsewhere.

Hi everyone,

No, there won't be an upgrade path from Rendernodes to Standard licenses. Once you have upgraded a license to a node, you won't be able to upgrade it then to standard later.

I hope that's clear!

Thank you Nicole for the answer. Yes I have understood (were you in doubt?).
However I consider this pretty unpleasant news; this really cuts our flexibilty in terms of upgrading.
