Setup a license server, install Render Slave on nodes, point to license server, configure as per documentation or use 3rd party batch render manager…

Hi guys,

 

OK here's the deal, I have a VERY slow render going on a bunch of machines desperately trying to get it done on deadline. There are however a few machines on the network that would be great to have rendering away... but they don't have any interactive lics of xsi running on them.

 

Now we have about five advanced lics of xsi running on various machines, don't these advanced lics have a few batch lics spare that I could some how get running on the machines that don't have interactive lics? I've gone through the setup & licensing manual and read all they have to say about distributed rendering but no joy!

 

How does one set this up? I'm ideally trying to set up standalone rendering, not satellite.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
