Render without a license?

[ldotchops]

last week i purchased forest pack, 1 license. i would like to be able to have it rendering on one machine while i still make edits on another. is it possible to render forest pack only without a license?

Yes, Forest can be used without restrictions on render nodes. The setup program includes a specific option for them.

Please note this includes only render nodes used on unattended mode (without any interaction of the user). As Backburner, Deadline, Distributed Rendering, etc.
Instead, if Max is open manually, it works as a workstation, and requires a license. Regarding licenses, Forest works in the same way than 3DS Max.
