I have 6 computers hooked up for network render, I try to do a co-op render and the files get sent to all 6 nodes to try and start rendering. the files get sent fine and it says it's starting to preprocess but then a node will have an error and restart the upload and preprocess...rinse and repeat until the node just completely disconnects. when i go check one that disconnected, I see that the network render node program has shut down.

Always three of the computers will work and three will shut down. The three shutting down are never the same, it's completely random. Any idea what is up? below is a sample from the log to show you what's happening:

Ok i figured it out right after I posted this.... I didn't have my node licenses installed on each machine. I had three on every machine but the extra three only on my main machine running the monitor. I thought they checked licensing remotely like that but i guess not.
