I am really ashamed of bothering you with another question about licenses, but there is still this that i haven't nailed yet:
since i have the habit of running multiple instances of mxcl simultaneously ( tipically to render overnight 2-3 small images) on the same computer, would rendernode licenses allow me to do this?
I mean 1full license + 3nodes, would allow me to launch 4 renderings at the same time (not via network, but directly from within Studio)?
I know the answer is almost for sure "NO", but just wanted to be sure before i pay more than i was supposed to do basing on my needs

Sorry sorry sorry, i know i'm dumb...

The node licenses will only allow you to render through Network. But with the new batch option Network it's pretty easy to export a few mxs files, and add them to the render queue.

Ok, fine then...as i thought.
Ready to buy now

Sorry, did I miss something about the new licensing system?
I used to start several renderings at once on one machine with one license letting them run simultaniously. Is this no longer possible and do I need several licenses for it?

[Mihai]

If it's on the same machine you can start several renderings at once.

thank you!

If it's on the same machine you can start several renderings at once.

But without GUI, right?

[Mihai]

With GUI, if it's on the same machine. If you have one full license on that machine, you can start several renderings on that machine. What you can't do is run multiple instances of Maxwell.exe on several machines, if you only have one full license.

If you have one full license on that machine, you can start several renderings on that machine.

You're only limitation is a technical one; how much RAM you have.
