Q:
A:I have 3 computers. In the past I would export from my plugin, tweak in mxstudio and send to Mxcl. While it was rendering I would repeat the process on the next computer, then do the same on the last machine. If i understand the current licensing requirements i will have to upgrade 3 licenses ($1,185) to be able to do this? Just trying to understand.
Also, if i convert one of my licenses to a node license, can i put that one node license on several computers?
Q:From what it sounds like you did in the past you should be able to do all the tweaking in studio and exporting on one machine. The other two would be nodes that you send render jobs to. Of course they all need to be networked together for this to work. So if I understand you correctly you would need to upgrade one standard license and then have two nodes either by downgrading two standard license to a node at a discount or buy two nodes at full price. How you go about that depends on what your current license setup is for 1.7. Hope that helps.
Also from what I understand there is only one license file that contains how many nodes/standard licenses you are allowed. So the same license would be put on all three machines. As long as you have studio running on only one machine at a time you should be able to launch it from any 3 of your computers. With 1 standard and 2 node privelages in your license file you can have a rendering running in the background on all 3 machines.
You can put one node license on several computers but only one will be able to render at a time.
A:Do I and all other original patrons who purchased the earliest pre-release of Maxwell have to buy this upgrade?
Q:
A:Can I sell my Maxwell license?
Q:
A:We have 16+0 licenses. Actually we need 2 full licenses and 4 rendernodes. Is it possible to upgrade the other 10 licenses later, say in one or two years?
Q:Yes, you will be able to upgrade them later, at any time, even after 1 or 2 years.
A:Is there any upgrade programme for educational licenses?
Q:Yes. http://www.maxwellrender.com/mw2_price_list.php

A:Is there an educational render node?
No, there isn´t a specific Educational Rendernode license - or price. Educational licenses act as Standard licenses and already have a reduced price.
