What is our "Render Only" version policy?

5 for 1

With the purchase of each single-user license, you may install the software on 5 render-only machines at no additional charge. If your render farm has more machines then 5 per license purchased you are required to buy more licenses to accommodate the render farm. Render-only machines are those never used for front-end work, they sit on a rack or do not have a monitor attached and are used for rendering only, we appreciate you respecting our licensing polices.

For example
  • Buy 1 license 1 workstation, 5 render-only machines (or nodes)
  • Buy 2 licenses Up to 2 workstations, Up to 10 render-only machines (or nodes)
  • Buy 10 licenses Up to 10 workstations, Up to 50 render-only machines (or nodes)
NOTE If you have more than 5 render-only machines per workstations (i.e. 5 workstations and 50 render-only machines (or nodes), you are required to purchase additional full licenses to accommodate you render farm.

Below is a list of products and how each are installed on the render-only machines.
