Hi All,

This is just a quick question to ask about network rendering.

At the moment i only use one titan x for rendering on my pc but im looking to boost this up by adding more gpus just for rendering, my question is do i need to by a new license for each slave?

I use octane with the C4D plugin.

Sorry if this is a silly question

It's not a silly question and yes, you need a Standalone license for each slave.

Very helpful,

Thank you for your reply, so do you think it would be wise to buy a box that i can pack out with 6 or more decent GPU's buy another octane license and have everything render via the network?
