Hello I like to use 2 or maybe 3 of my older computers for test/distributed rendering. I read in a documentation that extra licenses for using “render slaves” are not needed, only a connection to the licencing server. After setting up my pc’s for testing only my "Master* PC is rendering and the o…

You do need a render node license for each render slave.

i think for every license you are allowed for 10 renderslaves , so basicly it should work . i used to use Dr alot it shouldnt be hard to setup, have a look at this help page . [image] Chaos Docs

Pre- VRay 3 you could have 1 license and then you can render on 10 DR nodes. This has changed with VRay 3. You now need a RENDER NODE license for EACH RENDER NODE and you need a GUI LICENSE (Workstation) License for each pc that will be used to work with VRay

Hmm OK, looks like I have to buy some render node licenses then because I’ve alredy ordered the hardware… Bummer :rage: Anyhow, thank you guys for the claryfication !.
